May 17, 2019 Excerpt from Walt Whitman's "I Sing the Body Electric," and my poem "With Apologies to Walt"

Walt Whitman was born 200 years ago this month. To celebrate, in this installment of my podcast Music I Once Could Dance To, I read an excerpt from one of my favorite poems from Whitman's Leaves of Grass, "I Sing the Body Electric." I then follow up with a poem of mine that was inspired by Whitman's work. Titled "With Apologies to Walt," it opens with the line "I sing the body hydraulic."
