National Poetry Month 2010

(Walt Whitman.)April is National Poetry Month. I'll once again link my too-meager poetry category and promote the wonderful Favorite Poem Project. I recently re-watched Ken Burns' documentary The Civil War. Some of the most moving sections feature words by Walt Whitman, read by Garrison Keillor. Many of Whitman's best poems are quite long, but can be read here and elsewhere on the web.
