I discover an allusion ...

... thanks to this link sent by Dave Lull: Proletarian paperbacks: The little blue books and working-class culture.

The allusion? "Whitman in the Haldeman-Julius edition" figures in Kenneth Patchen's The Orange Bears. Wonderful to hear Patchen read this poem. He was one of those poets who could really read well.

  1. Sorry, but could you explain who Lull is, or link to him?
