After a run of enjoyable parodies of bohemian life a few years back, I welcomed the opportunity for the serious change of pace Justin Martin provides in "Rebel Souls."

The quarantine and my retirement gave me ample time to read "Rebels Souls," and though Walt Whitman's name is in the subtitle, Henry Clapp captured my interest because I knew nothing about the man before reading the ARC I received through NetGalley.

When I read, I learn. Pretty profound.

I highly recommend this tremendous book and I hope someday to find a physical copy.

Many thanks to NetGalley and Da Capo Press for the ebook.
