Walt Whitman is one of America’s greatest poets, a giant of American literature.  His poetry speaks powerfully to all of us, telling of the beauty of the natural world and the value and dignity of every person.  Jacob Stone has studied Whitman’s life and works for the past thirty years, taught about him in numerous university courses, and has frequently offered community seminars about him.  In this program we’ll learn about his fascinating life, hear some of his most powerful poems, and hear him in the only existing recording of his voice.
