Song of Myself by Walt Whitman Pdf

One of the Greatest Poems in American Literature Walt Whitman (1819-1892) was considered by many to be one of the most important American poets of all time. He had a profound influence on all those who came after him. “Song of Myself”, a portion of Whitman’s monumental poetry collection “Leaves of Grass”, is one of his most beloved poems. It was through this moving piece that Whitman first made himself known to the world. One of the most acclaimed of all American poems, it is written in Whitman’s signature free verse style, without a regular form, meter, or rhythm. His lines have a mesmerizing chant-like quality, as he sought to make poetry more appealing. Few poems are as fun to read aloud as this one. Considered to be the core of his poetic vision, this poem is an optimistic and inspirational look at the world in 1855. It is exhilarating, epic, and fresh in its brilliant and fascinating diction and wordplay as it tries to capture the unique meaning of words of the day, while also embracing the rapidly evolving vocabularies of the sciences and the streets. Far ahead of its time, it was considered by many social conservatives to be scandalous and obscene for its depiction of sexuality and desire, while at the same time, critics hailed the poem as a modern masterpiece. This first version of “Song of Myself” is far superior to the later versions and will delight readers with the playfulness of its diction as it glorifies the self, body, and soul. “I am large, I contain multitudes,”

Leaves of Grass by Walt Whitman Pdf

Walt Whitman, an American poet, essayist, and journalist, wrote of his own work that it was -an attempt to put a person, a human being (myself, in the latter half of the nineteenth century, in America) freely, fully, and truly on record.- Whitman was a humanist, combining both the perspectives of transcendentalism and realism into his poetry. Much of his work focuses on democracy, equality, and brotherhood. Additionally, Whitman's poetry is infused with spirituality, which he believed was strongly influenced by physical contact, lending hints of eroticism throughout Leaves of Grass. The first edition of this classic collection of poetry appeared in 1855 and was written as an attempt to reach the common man with an American epic. Due to constant critical attention from poet John Greenleaf Whittier, author and abolitionist Thomas Wentworth Higginson, poet and critic Rufus Wilmot Griswold, Boston district attorney Oliver Stevens, and writer and critic William Michael Rossetti, Whitman continuously expanded and revised the work until his death in 1892. Here, Leaves of Grass is presented in two volumes of Whitman's signature free-verse poetry celebrating America, nature, the common man, and spirituality. Volume 1 includes one of his most-loved poems, -Song of Myself, - which is revered for representing Whitman's larger poetic vision. Volume 2 begins with -Drum-Taps, - a chronicle of the bloody American Civil War, which had a lasting influence on Whitman's life and work. These two volumes are integral to poetry libraries and will be enjoyed by those who love poetry and Americana.
