I wonder what you, dear readers of Goa Book Club, think of the climax of the reading of Whitman's Leaves of Grass by Alicia, which was the only video of the Hysterical Literature series I saw.

The Open Culture site has a lot of free open lectures etc. The About Us page says: Open Culture editor Dan Colman scours the web for the best educational media. He finds the free courses and audio books you need, the language lessons & movies you want, and plenty of enlightenment in between.

Thanks for sharing this link Cecil.

Well, Augusto, since you want to know, the ending is what I call faking it. Whitman, in my view, was a solipsist, one who is

in love with himself. Those who have time to indulge in such fantasies would love sections of the leaves of grass, especially

after a toke of grass or two.

 

I am past my prime for such indulgence.

Hello

Walt Whitman is a MYSTIC. Perhaps only mystics understand their writings. For understanding mysticism we have to refer WilliamJames, Ken Wilber and  Aldous Huxley and many many more.

Folks,

My colleague in the English Department (and former chair of the Department), Ed. Folsom, is one of the leading scholars in the US on Walt Whitman.  You can find his work on-line.

When I was editing "Critical Essays on Ngugi wa Thiong'o", Professor Folsom assisted me by reading and revising the format one of the essays, "Voices of Many Together in Two:

Whitman's America and Ngugi's Kenya" by Sigurbjorg Sigurjonsdottir (of Iceland).
