Grand Tour

To keep with my regional reading theme, next up on my list is a manuscript of my main man Walt Whitman's essays exploring New York, from Manhattan to Montauk.

FROM MONTAUK POINT.
I stand as on some mighty eagle's beak,
Eastward the sea absorbing, viewing, (nothing but sea and sky,)
The tossing waves, the foam, the ships in the distance,
The wild unrest, the snowy, curling caps—that inbound urge
and urge of waves,
Seeking the shores forever.

Walt Whitman's New York: From Manhattan to Montauk, $9.99
