Welcome to Celebrate Poe - episode 395 - Finding a Home, Part One

Welcome back Walt. That's hard for me to get used to. I'd rather call you Mr. Whitman out of respect, but if you prefer the familiar Walt understand.

Thank you George. Remember that even my family even changed my name from Walter to Walt.

Then the name Walt it is. First let me ask about your writing - what style do you say you used?

Ah George, I would like to think that my writing is direct and even conversational. I consider my writing to be successful if I have addressed readers as if they are close friends, often using the first person and speaking with bold, unapologetic intimacy.

I have noted that your language stresses democratic ideals and is very inclusive.

Yes, George. I must admit that I saw myself as the voice of democracy, embracing all people and experiences. I attempted to construct language thatis inclusive, non-discriminatory, and celebrates diversity - to express my writing with a sense of openness and acceptance, inviting all listeners to feel part of the conversation.

Thank you for experiencing Celebrate Poe.
