Walt Whitman, whose "Leaves of Grass" was called 'the secular
Scripture of the United States' by Harold Bloom, is a source of
contemporary inspiration. His ecumenical wisdom, which includes
both transcendentalism and realism, is encapsulated here in short
verses for each day of the year. These, along with a daily action
step, become a springboard for readers to transform themselves. The
sublime poetry combined with exercises for self-reflection will
make this unique pocket-sized daybook a constant companion for
those seeking greater balance in their lives. In a world in which
poetry has few readers, the authors have created a format to make
it accessible and inspire a new audience to find value and use in
this genre. By giving readers a context of action or contemplation
in which to find their own meaning in the text, they reinvigorate
the appreciation of the poetic word. Whether the reader is new to
Whitman, or poetry altogether, or is already steeped in the words
of the masters, they will find in this volume new ways to approach
poetic language and their own lives, regardless of their
generation. This is a book to share with grandmothers, best
friends, young adults, and book groups, and anyone who wants to
plumb the depths of poetic wisdom while learning more about
themselves.
