About this episode
Welcome to Celebrate Poe - this is episode 278 - Whitman on Democracy - and This is the final episode - for now - about Walt Whitman.
Walt Whitman wrote many lengthy poems about democracy - in fact I found a great poem about Democracy that would take almost two hours to read — but I am going to try and confine the poems in this episode to some of those on the shorter side - starting with the three-line poem - To Foreign Lands. Here he simply states that he heard other countries want to know what the New World was and what America was, so he is giving them his poetry so they can find out exactly what his country is.
