One's self I sing, a simple separate person, Yet utter the word Democratic, the word En-Masse

That's my man Whitman, right? Song of Myself?

Great Job... I'm just discovering Whitman these days. He's probably the greatest American poet. Don't you agree?

I'm partial to Eliot and Plath, but Whitman is pretty awesome.

I'm also starting to dig Ginsberg. Have you ever read his poem, A supermarket in California? Ginsberg imagines Whitman going shopping with Frederico Garcia Lorca. Great imagery. Check it out sometime.
