Long before today's modern use of the term wellness, Walt Whitman, widely considered to be one of America's greatest poets, extolled the virtues of self-care and the mind–body connection. In a series of thirteen newspaper instalments, written in 1858 for The New York Atlas under the pseudonym Mose Velsor—unearthed more than 150 years later by a University of Houston graduate student—Whitman adopted the role of advice columnist. Velsor dispensed tips on “manly” health issues, including alcohol use, depression, diet, exercise, physical beauty, sex, socialization, and a host of other subjects. This volume juxtaposes excerpts of Whitman's well-known verse with his lesser-known prose, offering unique and fascinating insights into one of America's most beloved poets.
