Books like The Poetry of Walt Whitman (Leaves of Grass, Drum Taps, etc.)

I bought this for a dollar at a library sale, and it's wonderful. I own a copy of most of these poems, but rarely read them. Instead, my exposure to Whitman comes mainly through my listening to Fred Hersch's musical adaptation of "Leaves of Grass," my favorite recording of the 2000s. To then hear the same verses recited (vigorously) by the narrator here gives me the kind of thrill I've always been told it should give me on the page. I don't know why I have to hear the poem read to feel that charge, but so be it. This CD delivers exactly what I hoped it would.
