KevinV Finding Whitman [Pennsauken Creek]

I found Whitman along the Pennsauken Creek. Over the summer I Kayaked the water way and found a side of Camden County I never seen before, the side Whitman loved. The river way was completely unadulterated. Swarms of birds and herds of turtles riddled the water banks. The busy sounds of cars and people were completely absent. The short trip was very rejuvenating in all sense of the word and I understand why Whitman found the area to be therapeutic. I chose to recite my favorite Whitman poem “The Voice of the Rain” in the spot where I launched my Kayak. The quality of the video is poor but at the time of the recording rain was falling softly on this particular November evening.

Well done! I also love the background sounds (I’m not sure if they were cars, but to me, they sounded like a bit of the wind and water..a bit of both). Also, your strong voice was perfect for the poem. And your stance as well as the “stick-thingy”…very appropriate! :)
