jan 1, 1995 - President Clinton
Description:
Writers, politicians, and celebrities have been avowed admirers of Whitman and Leaves of Grass, from Emerson and Henry David Thoreau to Iggy Pop and Allen Ginsberg. What makes Bill Clinton’s fandom notable, however, is that he was so fond of the multitudinous poet that he gifted a copy of Leaves of Grass to Monica Lewinsky just prior to the start of their affair.
