Movin' on up, slowly, slowly. Read an afterward to Leaves and now am onto the reviews published of the new work in 1855, some of which were ghost-written by Whitman himself, lol. I have to say though, I was expecting them to be sillily prudish and negative but am finding the non-Whitman ones so far to be actually quite objective and some funny. Most are admitting that he's a fascinating new writer with flourishes of beauty and grand ideas. Predictably, some object to his riskier passages.
