This reading continues the majestic sequence “By Blue Ontario’s Shore” from Walt Whitman’s incomparable Leaves of Grass, covering sections 11 & 12.
Leaves of Grass editor Karen Karbiener notes about “By Blue Ontario’s Shore”:
“From its first appearance in 1856, this poem has functioned as Whitman’s definitive social statement. In 1856 it constituted a broad directive for how the country might be unified; the poem echoed many of the commands of the Preface, and actually used or modified many of its most powerful statements.”
