SynopsisLong before today's modern use of the term wellness , Walt Whitman, widely considered to be one of America's greatest poets, extolled the virtues of self-care and the mind-body connection. In a series of thirteen newspaper installments, written in 1858 for The New York Atlas under the pseudonym Mose Velsor -- unearthed more than 150 years later by a University of Houston graduate student -- Whitman adopted the role of advice columnist. Velsor dispensed tips on "manly" health issues, including alcohol use, depression, diet, exercise, physical beauty, sex, socialization, and a host of other subjects. This volume juxtaposes excerpts of Whitman's well-known verse with his lesser-known prose, offering unique and fascinating insights into one of America's most beloved poets., In a series of thirteen newspaper installments, written in 1858 under the pseudonym Mose Velsor, American poet Walt Whitman, adopted the role of advice columnist and dispensed tips on men's health. Includes poetry and Victorian line drawings.
