More than one hundred years after his death, Walt Whitman’s poetry has become part of the American heritage. It is a visionary which speaks as aptly to readers today as it will to future generations. As he says in “Crossing Brooklyn Ferry,” “others…look back on me because I look’d forward to them.” Whitman’s poetry is a link that connects all Americans—past, present, and future.
