Extrospective Poetry

I’ll be honest, I did learn something new about this experience: poetry is not my thing, and I don’t mind audiobooks as much as I thought I did; I just need the right narrator. Anyway, I read Leaves of Grass by Walt Whitman. The book I got had two versions of the publication. Overall, I loved the sentiment; it was beautiful and definitely an interesting look at the United States during the time. It was interesting to see such a perspective in the early to mid-1800s. Listening to the poetry helped get the point across that I wasn’t getting from just reading it. Definitely an interesting perspective on the time, which I believe is still relevant today, even if I would change some of the language to fit today’s context.
