I find myself yielding to the insistent command of my happy hour, a curious imperative that feels essential. If I don't pursue any other course of action, there's a possibility that I might unleash the most unconventional, impromptu, and fragmented book ever printed.
One of the greatest hidden gems in modern autobiographical literature, Whitman's autobiography unfolds in a brisk, episodic manner, capturing the life of one of the world's most beloved and influential poets. Experimenting with form, expressing itself lyrically, and brimming with experiential content, Specimen Days has yet to receive the widespread readership it truly deserves. Whitman presents us with his life, lived in connection to the evolving urban and rural landscapes of a young nation—a nation that had just emerged from a devastating civil war and was assuming the forefront of artistic, technological, economic, political, and philosophical modernity.
