An episode from 3/9/21: This is the second in a series of readings from biographies of Walt Whitman. Tonight, I continue with \u2060\u2060Paul Zweig's Walt Whitman: The Making of the Poet\u2060\u2060, which focuses on the years preceding the publication of Leaves of Grass. Here, he focuses on Whitman's earliest involvement in politics, and the importance of opera and theater in his life, aspects of which appears in his poetry.
