31. Whitman poem discovered

An associate professor of art history at University of Nebraska-Lincoln has discovered a new poem by Walt Whitman.

Wendy Katz was working as a Smithsonian senior fellow in Washington, D.C., researching art criticism in the penny newspapers, when she found a poem in the June 23, 1842 issue of the „New Era“ by „W.W.“

The poem, “To Bryant, the Poet of Nature,” addresses William Cullen Bryant, an American romantic poet and editor of the New York Evening Post.

Her recently published article in the summer/fall 2014 issue of the “Walt Whitman Quarterly Review” outlines her reasons for believing the poem was by Whitman. / omaha.com
