Walt Whitman in New York to Omnibus Drivers and Bohemian Circles
An old fragment describes Walt Whitman as a restless figure in New York. He shifts between poetry work and odd jobs, including driving Broadway omnibuses, while associating with a bohemian circle around the raucous rookery near Central Park. The piece mentions performers and writers of the era, and hints at Whitman’s reformist leanings and varied literary ties.
