Three poets join us on Bookworm to celebrate Walt Whitman. They read from Leaves of Grass, describe Whitman's influence on their work, read their own poems, and, in general, paint a raucous, friendly, informal portrait of the Good Gray Poet — America's greatest.

Guests:

Eamon Grennan: author, 'Matter of Fact'
Major Jackson: author, 'Hoops'
Pattiann Rogers: author, 'Wayfare'
