Night School 011: Song of Myself Pt. 9

In this edition of Night School, Mr. Wes Schantz and I consider Walt Whitman's "Song of Myself" parts 25-27. We specifically think through (a) Whitman's questioning whether he is ready to attempt a poetic "magnum opus", (b) the connection between a poem, music, and the movements of the heavens, and (c) will Whitman take a stand for something beyond universality of experience/liberality of expression?
