This film is one in a series produced for PBS on America's outstanding poets. This volume features Walt Whitman, who many consider the greatest literary figure in American literature. Whitman worked as a teacher and journalist while he worked on his masterpiece of free verse, Leaves of Grass. The Civil War began, and Whitman volunteered as a nurse. The pain and suffering he saw informed the subject matter of his later prose works, including Democratic Vistas. The First Poetry Quartet reads from this literary giant's work against the beautiful and poignant setting of a Civil War battleground. ~ Rose of Sharon Winter, All Movie Guide
