Show Notes
Walt Whitman not only captured American culture and spirit in sweeping verse in his poetry collection Leaves of Grass; he also frequented the very first gay bar in America, cruised for cuties among the, ahem, working stiffs of the world, and even indulged in a little cross-dressing. Though persistent questions about his sexuality affected sales of his work and even his employment, he couldn’t deny the Song of Himself - and it led him to his true love.
