Welcome to Celebrate Poe - Episode 251 - When Whitman Met Peter - this episode deals with an essential area of Walt Whitman’s life and creative spirit - in fact, you might even say that a twenty-something immigrant served as an inspiration and a muse for some of the poet’s greatest works. Of course, during Pride Month, this podcast concentrates on America’s poet - but today I want to look at a young man that Whitman deeply loved - a basically humble immigrant who became caught-up in some of America’s most creative expressions, and someone who has been referred to as the love of Whitman's life.

This episode begins with a promo description for the new podcast Celebrate Whitman (to begin July 4, 2024.)
