Panes of GlassThis essay presents a (short) biography of American poet Walt Whitman. Whitman was born at a farmhouse in Huntington, Long Island. As a boy, Whitman collected eels and gull eggs by the shore. As a man, he kept a tally of his lovers, noting their facial features, ages, and interests, as if he feared there might come a time in his life when he would forget that he had loved and been loved. | Virginia Quarterly Review.
