Walt wrote to Ralph

Poets have feelings about their work. Walt Whitman self published the first edition of Leaves of Grass. More than a few critics panned the volume. Yet, Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote praise. This encouraged Walt Whitman to continue.

Annals of American History by Encyclopedia Britannica has this touching Letter to Ralph Waldo Emerson from Walt Whitman.

You may access Annals of American History through GALILEO. You may get the curernt password from your Georgia librarian.
