Walt Whitman Won't Die!

The Washington Post remembers its coverage of the final days of poet Walt Whitman in 1891 (and 1892).

Biography fans should visit the Post's wonderful blog Post Mortem, source of the Whitman piece. Obituary writers Patricia Sullivan, Adam Bernstein and Matt Schudel use the blog to reflect on their craft and on the people they cover.
