Notes
A well done character study/slice of life· An exuberant celebration on Whitman's poem·

"I Sing the Body Electric' is a famous poem by Walt Whitman, one of the twelve poems which comprised the first edition of Leaves of Grass (1856/67)· In it, he celebrates the glories of existence, explores themes of the body, its parts and its whole, the interconnectedness of body and soul, the sensuality of the body, and equality and interconnectedness of us all (including between races).
