So I've only read a couple of his poems long ago but I wish to read more of his body of work. I tried checking the wiki for any starting image but unfortunately came out empty-handed.

So, what works would you recommend reading first and what should I keep in mind while reading them. I am looking more in the range of poetry but am open to his essays or anything of that sort too.

Also, what makes you interested in Walt Whitman anyway?

I know the things you never see! You never see a guy walking down the street reading a Whitman! You never see a really tall fat Chinese guy with red hair!
