“I’m delighted to have this wonderful collection of truly pocket-sized pieces of Leaves of Grass. … An ambitious (and successful) project. I look forward to spending time with it in coming days.” — Ed Folsom, editor of Walt Whitman Quarterly Review
“I’ve personally tested each booklet in the series, considering myself a good case. I have poor eyesight and I rarely carry a handbag. The booklets worked for me on both legibility and pocket portability. The pocket edition holds another unexpected good, at least for me. Maybe it was the physical intimacy of a book that fit well in my hands, but I found that the poems—even those I’d been reluctant to read closely before—flowed more easily into my thoughts and spirit.” — Jean Huets, editor
