Oh my lord, I must go and check out that collection; I seriously doubt that your taste is the problem here -- or, anyway, the tastes of discerning persons may vary. I just today learned that a friend whose opinion I value couldn't get through Great Expectations, which is one of my favorite books ever, and I think you and I may be in the same camp as regards Whitman, few of whose poems move me in spite of his being a Grand Old Man of queer poetry etc. etc.
