Whitman's Apprentices Anthology

What better way to celebrate Walt Whitman's 200th Birthday than put together an anthology celebrating the Poets who came after him?

The "Poets to Come" as Whitman himself so elegantly addressed. 

This companion anthology Whitman's Apprentices is the youth version of that vision. 

Containing poetry from around 150 young school-aged poets, represented by Elementary school children, to College kids, Whitman's Apprentices celebrates the next coming generation of wordsmiths. 

This anthology will be launched at the 2019, 200th Whitman Convention celebration.
