American Experience: Walt Whitman--PBS DVD release date

Marketed with the following description on ShopPBS.org:

To family and friends, Walter Whitman Jr. may have been just an old bachelor but with his book, Leaves of Grass, he offered up his poetry and his persona as a reflection of the America he saw; daring, noble, naive, brutish, sexual, frightening and flawed. This film tells Whitman's life story, from his working-class childhood, to his years as a newspaper reporter in Brooklyn, to his reckless pursuit of the attention he craved for his work. http://www.shoppbs.org/

Interviews include U of Iowa's Ed Folsom as well as Pulitzer Finalist and UMASS Amherst Professor, Martín Espada. Ship date is scheduled for 22 April 2008--shortly before the end of National Poetry Month.
