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 Whitmans clearer, original punctuation and makes natural line breaks. Also included in this volume are Whitmans 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 Whitmans poetry.--BOOK JACKET. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=512024 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=289318 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=125707 It is not only the allusions to sex and physiology that disturbed Whitmans critics but also his departure from the rules of conventional poetry. He broke down the standard metred line, discarded the obligatory rhyming scheme, and freely expressed himself in the living vernacular of American speech. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=203626 Here is Walt Whitman entire, in all his contrarieties, the unsafe Whitman, Whitman the subversive, Americas greatest poet. These 66 texts include 49 poems, 11 passages from poems, four prose texts, and one image-text. Some of the poems, such as Respondez, are quite simply Whitman at his best: poems that represent the height of his passion and artistry; others, including the Calamus cluster, are crucial for illuminating the great sexual mystery of Whitman - for throwing light on the relationship between the real Whitman and the immortal persona he created in Leaves of Grass - Walt Whitman, a kosmos. Yet most other currently available readers editions of Whitman omit most of these texts, all other readers editions omit some of them, and the authoritative Library of America Complete Poetry and Collected Prose omits all of them. What is it the other editions are so afraid of? Together, these writings refute the standard assumptions about what kind of poet Whitman was, proposing a subtler and more complex portrait. The Whitman who emerges here is a more dangerous man than we knew before, not only a praisemaker but also an outlaw.--BOOK JACKET. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=436840 This book has twelve untitled poems and a preface outlining the authors poetics. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=740425 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=454071 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=258956 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=455836 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=453722
