Walt Whitman is still one of America’s most controversial and yet respected poets. He broke many conventions of behavior but, in his poetry, he went to the heart of much that we consider to be American democracy. In Song of Myself, Whitman, played by Rip Torn, reminisces about his life from the time he started writing Leaves of Grass until he had to return to his family after a stroke.
