A trove of journalism by the great US poet Walt Whitman is being published online after lying in obscurity more than 150 years.
The 13-part series "Manly Health and Training" was written under a pseudonym for a New York newspaper in 1858.
It contains multitudes of tips on topics such as diet, sex, and hygiene.
The 47,000-word series, which survived only in a few libraries, was discovered in a digitalised newspaper database by a graduate student last year.
It is now being published by the online journal The Walt Whitman Quarterly Review. see more >> http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-36177820
