As Walt Whitman's close friend and perhaps his greatest fan, William Sloane Kennedy wrote many studies on the poet, including 'Reminiscences of Walt Whitman with Extracts from His Letters and Remarks on His Writings.' This book however, which Sloane considered his most important work, is an in-depth analysis on 'Leaves of Grass,' covering its public reception, the many edits it went through, and some clarifying interpretations of the poem's more difficult sections.
