  1. Khushi Goyal

    Found it a little slow-paced and meandering. The Whitman connection felt forced at times. Not bad, but not great either.

  2. Anupam Saggar

    Doty’s exploration of Whitman is both intimate and expansive. A deeply rewarding read that will stay with you long after you finish it.

  3. Soumya Ranjan Katha

    I struggled to connect with Doty’s voice. Found it somewhat self-absorbed. The Whitman connection felt tenuous at best. Disappointing.

  4. Ved Himanshu Patel

    Not what I expected. I wanted more critical analysis of Whitman. This is more of a personal reflection inspired by Whitman.

  5. Anup Mangwani

    Absolutely stunning! Doty’s writing is exquisite, and his insights into Whitman are profound. A must-read for poetry lovers.

  6. Aviral Pathania

    A truly beautiful and moving book. Doty’s insights are profound, and his writing is simply gorgeous. A must-read for anyone who loves poetry.

  7. Varun Mittal

    A bit uneven. Some chapters were brilliant, others less so. Overall, an interesting exploration of grief and legacy.

  8. Pritha Mandal

    Interesting concept, but the execution fell a little flat for me. It felt a bit repetitive and lacked a clear focus. Some good moments, though.

  9. Dipesh Kadam

    I loved the way Doty wove his own experiences with Whitman’s poetry. It felt like a conversation across time. Beautifully written.

  10. Ansh Arora

    While Doty writes beautifully, the connection to ‘Leaves of Grass’ felt tenuous and often distracting. I wanted more Whitman, less personal reflection.

  11. Rajat Malik

    Doty’s exploration is interesting, but sometimes feels a bit too self-indulgent. The connection to Whitman is there, but not always strong. Still, worth a read.

  12. Surabhi Chakravarty

    A thoughtful and moving book. Doty’s prose is lyrical, and his reflections on mortality are deeply resonant. A rewarding read.

  13. Nandini Rathi

    Doty’s reflections are deeply moving and often profound. The connections drawn to Whitman added a layer of richness. Highly recommend.

  14. Lakshyaa Anand

    It was okay. I didn’t find it particularly groundbreaking, but it wasn’t bad either. Just a decent read for a quiet afternoon.

  15. Harsh Tanwar

    A beautiful meditation on life and art. Doty’s voice is captivating, and his engagement with Whitman is insightful. Highly recommended.

  16. Neelank Bihani

    This book is a gem! Doty’s writing is lyrical and poignant, and his exploration of Whitman’s work is both insightful and personal.

  17. Vineet Patwa

    I was expecting more Whitman and less Doty. It’s a personal journey, which is fine, but not what I anticipated. Some great moments, though.
