Today (Thanksgiving in the U.S.), New York Public Radio WNYC celebrates poet Walt Whitman, who, 150 years ago, published the first edition of Leaves of Grass, a collection of 12 poems that "shattered existing notions of poetry and broke all existing conventions in terms of subject matter, language, and style. During Victorian times, Whitman broke taboos: he wrote about slaves, prisoners, prostitutes, sexuality, his love for men, and his vision for a utopian America". We need more utopian American of that sort.

Una delle mie terzine preferite, non ti sembra un pò radicale?
non so quanto l'anima possa essere radicale, ma il noi e l'apparizione sicuramente lo sono ;)
