Walt Whitman: "Out of the Cradle Endlessly Rocking"
A reading of Walt Whitman's poem "Out of the Cradle Endlessly Rocking."
The full text of the poem is here.
The best place to find Whitman's poetry online (or anything about him at all) remains the Whitman Archive, and you can find every edition of Leaves of Grass here (as plain text downloads) and here (facsimiles of the original editions).
While there are hundreds of editions of Whitman's poetry in print, I prefer the two editions published by the Library of America: the first includes the 1855 and 1892 versions of Leaves of Grass, and the second (and the book I'm reading from here) includes the same, along with a huge selection of Whitman's prose.
Any comments, or suggestions for readings I should make in later episodes, can be emailed to humanvoiceswakeus1@gmail.com.
I assume that the small amount of work presented in each episode constitutes fair use. Publishers, authors, or other copyright holders who would prefer to not have their work presented here can also email me at humanvoiceswakeus1@gmail.com, and I will remove the episode immediately.
