Bullet Points are Better Than Bullets

Thursday, August 2, 2007

Walt Whitman and the Fourth of July

Wednesday, July 4, 2007

Whitman resided here at 99 Ryerson Street, Brooklyn, NY in 1855 when LEAVES OF GRASS was published on July 4th.

Leaves of Grass

Wednesday, July 4, 2007

I’m taking a walk to visit 99 Ryerson Street. It’s an unremarkable structure that housed a remarkable man. Walt Whitman lived there when LEAVES OF GRASS was published on July 4, 1855. Call it a pilgrimage; I’ll take a picture.
