Walt Whitman was born 200 years ago this month. To celebrate, in this installment of my podcast Music I Once Could Dance To, I read an excerpt from one of my favorite poems from Whitman's Leaves of Grass, "I Sing the Body Electric." I then follow up with a poem of mine that was inspired by Whitman's work. Titled "With Apologies to Walt," it opens with the line "I sing the body hydraulic."
