Walt Whitman was the first American to take the common experience of man as the very source of high poetry. His masterpiece Leaves of Grass is more than a landmark poetical work; it is the turning point of all American imaginative expression. This production traces Whitman’s life, and provides critical analysis of the most important works by the man Ezra Pound called “the voice triumphant.” The DVD includes a printable teacher guide featuring reproducible handouts, activities, vocabulary words, and other related materials. 20 minutes. Recommended for grades 5-12.
