Summary:
"A century after his death, Walt Whitman is still celebrated as America's greatest poet. In this striking new edition of his work, Whitman biographer Gary Schmidgall presents more than two hundred poems in their original pristine form and in the chronological order in which they were published. These extraordinary poems return us to the physical Whitman, rejoicing - sometimes graphically - in sexual pleasure. This edition follows Whitman's clearer, original punctuation and makes natural line breaks. Also included in this volume are Whitman's major prose discussions of his poetry, all four of his elegies for Abraham Lincoln, early poems written before Leaves of Grass, and contemporary - and sometimes blistering - reviews of Whitman's poetry."--BOOK JACKET.
