About this title

Review

"Visiting Walt is a vivid reminder that poetry is nothing less than the greatest conversation ever held. No poet spoke more ardently to the future than Whitman, and here, he is answered by a democratic chorus of his descendants--a hundred of his children talking back to their looming, inescapable, fathomless father."
