I'm crying of joy, how I could live without know this great work? From Brazil.

Many sincere thanks for an outstanding documentary, Walt Whitman's legacy is timeless. As he wished, thus he accomplished.

Thoreau = Puer Aeternus

I love that Henry was gay.

Having lived in New England for most of my life, and having passed many hours outdoors, I feel almost as if I have always somehow known Thoreau's words; as if they were in the air and water, part of the landscape, now and forever. After a difficult afternoon and evening, it was a joy to happen upon this video and to watch it again. It had a very soothing effect upon me. Thanks.

"i bequeath myself to the dirt to grow from the grass I love. If you want me again look for me under your boot soles. You will hardly know who i am or what i mean, but i shall be good health to you never the less ( and filter and fiber your blood )? Failing to fetch me at first keep encouraged, missing me one place search another. I stop somewhere waiting for you "

Thank you for this wonderful documentary. I watched it with my son as part of his homeschool curriculum. Walt Whitman was an incredible person, and I will read his poetry with pleasure.

Thank you ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Thanksalot

Love ya Uncle Walt

A beautiful portrait, his words perfectly spoken and spoken of.

Please cut out the music…

Such a good piece of biography.. striving to connect outer circumstance and Poe’s inner dynamics.. a mixture of light and dark, faced fully on.

Thank you so much for the beautiful video

Thank you

This man wrote around 360 songs. Then sold his clothes for booze monry. How sad.

I am related to President Taylor and he mentioned meeting him after the Mexican War in which Taylor was treated like a hero. Cool!

walt whitman was very gay and enamored of young men

This is awesome... can't wait to watch it for sure

I lived on Long Island, E. Northport 😊 63 Soundview Ave, in the 1980's

Truly a masterpiece! No stupid myths about Poe. Exceptionally well done! No cringe worthy moments. I'm proud to be part of this fine telling of Poe's life.

This newly finished 3-hour documentary on 19th century landmark poet, mystery writer, and pioneering science-fiction author Edgar Allan Poe (January 1809-October 1849--born in my hometown of Boston, and closely associated with Baltimore (his deathplace), New York City, Philadelphia, and Richmond--is well-worth watching. It may well prove the definitive film ever made about Mr. Poe. I am pleased to have played a modest part during its years of making, supporting P-W-D Andrew D. Kaplan PhD here in the USA and associate producer Nora Krasniqi in Berlin, Germany, in particular. We expect it to be available soon on multiple platforms. This is Part One of two parts on UA-cam. This absorbing documentary includes Mr. Poe's tale about a human voyage to earth's Moon! :-)

I have watched and taken careful notes on Part I, and Part II up through that section concerning "The Raven." I find this an impeccably-produced documentary, though it seems to glorify Poe to the point of indulging in myth, at times. For example, we are told that Poe as a young man was given to pranks and to "raiding orchards," but the narrator seriously believes that Poe actually swam six miles against the current in the James River. Far more likely, it was a hoax, and he secretly rode most of the way. It is extremely implausible that this 15-year-old boy still holds the record, today, even against trained athletes! But nobody, seemingly, has questioned Poe's veracity on this claim. The reason I took the better part of a day to study this film so carefully, is that I fundamentally disagree with it. As an independent researcher, I have discovered that Edgar Allan Poe was not the author of "The Raven." It was all a scam. The real author had been Mathew Franklin Whittier, younger brother of the Quaker poet John Greenleaf Whittier. He had written it based on a real-life event, and real-life circumstances, which occurred in December of 1841. Mathew would then have naively shared it with Poe in a private meeting, in early 1842. It was Mathew, not Poe, who published it in the Feb. 1845 edition of "American Review," under the pseudonym "---- Quarles" (not mentioned in the film). Poe merely scooped it by three days, having presumably seen it in an advance copy. He pretended to have permission from the editor of "American Review." But all this is extremely improbable. Poe did not use pseudonyms. No newly-launched literary journal would ever give such permission to a pedestrian daily newspaper. It would also have been the height of cruelty for Poe to publish a poem about grief, while Virginia was still alive and battling consumption. This is a real grief poem, but it is also a poem describing a faith crisis. Poe had no faith to begin with, so he could not have experienced a faith crisis. It's obviously a poem written by an actual grieving widower--it is not a poem about Poe's preoccupation with past losses, nor is it written in anticipatory grief. Finally, if one becomes as familiar with Mathew Franklin Whittier's literary legacy as I am, the matter is obvious. The reasons that Poe scholars cite for Poe supposedly writing this poem, are only the reasons he chose to plagiarize it--why he was attracted enough to it, to steal it. But he didn't fully understand it. Poe had never written any poetry in this style, but Mathew Franklin Whittier had published several poems of very high quality in a similar style. This was, in fact, his preferred style of many years. Finally, Poe's essay, "The Philosophy of Composition," is childish nonsense intended as damage control, to prove that he could possibly have written "The Raven." All he did was to reverse-engineer the poem. The film chooses to ignore this issue--and while many scholars have concluded that Poe wrote this essay as a "hoax," actually it was yet another *scam.* This entire issue is not dealt with in the film.

I have the feeling i have seen this film before. But I just now finished watching part two, and I found it absorbing and inspiring. This excellent film does Poe justice. I have learned from it and I will watch both parts again. I lived in Providence for years, and I know very well all the Providence locations mentioned and pictured in your film, Whitman's home, the cemeteries, the Atheneum. Poe is a legend in Providence, and some people claim they've seen him walking alone along Benefit Street in the wee hours on foggy nights. Thanks.

Masterfully done. BRAVO and thank you.

We hope you enjoy this film, which we consider to be the definitive documentary on Edgar Allan Poe. The film is in two parts and will be coming soon to various platforms and film festivals! Hopefully the documentary will air on many PBS stations, as did our previous film on Walt Whitman. Please enjoy and let us know what you think!

The destiny of this study is to be perhaps the most substantive and memorable tribute to Poe. Our narrator is talented, fit to honor the great romanticist.

one of my favorite writers. Thank you.

Beautiful song, we sang it in 3rd and 4th grade.

You do not mention that Thoreau was influenced by the first English translation of the Bhagavad Gita. I believe he read from it daily. Vivekananda said towards the end of the century that, India’s influence is like the dew, it has a great impact on nature but no one notices it coming in or where and when it comes.

He was enlightened or he had had very profound glimpses.The same is true for Henry David Thoreau and to a lesser degree for John Muir.

Walt Whitman called Ralph Waldo Emerson - His Master

Great Poet the only thing, I didn't like he was gay but he had great talents.

One of the best biograhies of Thoreau I've seen.

Wonderful. Thank you.

I "Thoreauly" enjoyed this documentary.

Thank you for this beautiful documentary!

I've been to the Swanee River in Florida. It's absolutely breathtaking but so is the majority of that state

For me Walt W. is not a poet. He writes sentences. Boring sentences...without inspiration for me.
