Gordon, your voice has now been joined inextricably with Whitman's in my mind. I will fail to tell you how much I am in your debt for revivifying Walt in my hearing.

Song of Myself, in particular, a masterpiece. I carry it on my iPod, I play it to my ageing father, I send the link to friends. I keep listening to your work here again and again.

Thank you.
Thank you, Ward! It was really kind of you to let us know how much you're enjoying this book. I'm sure Gord will pop by and read your praise, too. Thanks for listening!

Ward,

Thank you so much for your kind words! It is so gratifying to hear that you enjoyed the recordings, and more, that you have shared them with others!

Leaves of Grass was a special project for me. Whitman's work seems meant to be spoken aloud, and takes on a life of its own.

I hope you'll go on to explore the rest of the growing Librivox library. There are a lot of fantastic recordings (with more coming every day, it seems!).

Thanks again!
