Goodness, how I enjoyed this! It was so good to hear such in-depth explorations and to get more insights into the ways of poetic thinking! Thank you, Jim, for sharing it with me.
@@C.J.Princepoet You are welcome--IF you're serious about enjoying. I'm an American Lit/Studies "scholar," so it's common for intellectuals like us to take liberties since we often need to be serious/profound for long stretches of time.😉
Then how is the Whitman long line different than a prose line? Also, line breaks and enjambment create potentials for a sort of "reader response" understanding of each line as language accumulates, forcing the reader to rethink meaning.

thanks, Penny!
Walt was an orator and BIG talker. He wrote in the long lines that a preacher might employ. Etc.😊
What a grand conversation! I felt like I was eavesdropping. I love this diving into Whitman. Thank you.

Long lines? Did he STAND in them at his local corn stand on Long Island? Did he draw them on roads with chalk or whitewash?😅
