About this episode
Welcome to Celebrate Poe - Episode 431 - A Patient Spider
From a week of Shakespeare to a series of podcast episodes about Walt Whitman - not as big jump as you might think.
You see, Walt Whitman and William Shakespeare are two of the most influential poets in the English language, and while they lived in different eras and had vastly different styles, they share some key commonalities. Both poets are renowned for their profound impact on literature, and their works are considered foundational to their respective traditions.
Both writers explored similar universal themes and used powerful literary techniques to do so. So much has been written about Walt Whitman's free verse - in other words - poetry that doesn't rhyme - that it would be impossible to do it justice in several episodes. But in this and the following episodes, I want to examine Walt Whitman’s use of free verse.
