Whitman names the concern of the paintings - "One's-self." This isn't best Whitman's self, even though he truly identifies himself because the hero of the epic, but it's also the reader's self in addition to a greater encompassing democratic self. The concern, then, is Whitman, the reader, and the kingdom. The issues of "Inscriptions" are as various because of the themes of the entire book. He writes poems of a political, social, personal, and sexual nature, all ideas that he will complex in later sections."Starting from Paumanok" is a kind of road map for the literary work in advance. Whitman is familiar with the entire book as an adventure and so he starts off evolved along with his personal beginnings of self-cognizance and poetic proposal as a boy on Long Island, New York. Whitman intends here to call the ones on the way to accompany him on his adventure and he catalogs a full-size list of humans and places so that it will play an element in his travels. His poems are of these people and for these humans. Whitman, but, is not just worried about the bodily however with the no secular as well. His personal soul is named as a character within the book and his poems, he says, are written with the soul in thoughts.

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 is a collection of poetry written over Walt Whitman's entire lifetime organized thematically into sections. Whitman revised and added to the book throughout his life, the final edition being published only months before his death in 1891. Whitman was intentional in not organizing the book in any chronological way. Instead, he was concerned with the journey of the poetry. He desired that the reader would see a self formed through the words and themes of the book. The opening section, "Inscriptions," gives the reader an overview of the work and the purview of its author. Whitman names the subject of the work - "One's-self." This is not only Whitman's self, though he certainly identifies himself as the hero of the epic, but it is also the reader's self as well as a more encompassing democratic self. The subject, then, is Whitman, the reader, and the nation. The themes of "Inscriptions" are as varied as the themes of the entire book. He writes poems of a political, social, personal, and sexual nature, all ideas that he will elaborate on in later sections.

Modern critics and contemporary readers familiar with the field of Whitman criticism may find surprising an analysis of the structure of Leaves of Grass that concerns itself with Whitman as the poet-prophet and the identification of Whitman (or of his persona in the poem) with Christ. Early twentieth-century criticism has tended to exalt the early Whitman at the expense of the later one and to regard as poetically inferior the image of the national and democratically prophetic Whitman as expressed in the later editions. Thomas Edward Crawley, in full knowledge of the contemporary currents of Whitman criticism, chooses to revert to this older view, through which he sheds new light on Whitman’s artistic achievement. The basic premise of this study is that Walt Whitman’s Leaves of Grass is a unified work, lyrical, yet epic in quality, design, and spirit. Crawley’s purpose is to demonstrate the basis of this unity: its origin and operation and the nature of its realization. He demonstrates that an aesthetically maturing Whitman, in this work, was finally able to harmoniously bring together his individual and social subject matter. Crawley defines the unifying spirit of Leaves of Grass in terms of Whitman’s concept of the poet-prophet and the poet-reader relationship. This concept is conveyed primarily through the development of the Christ- symbol, the dominant image in the poem. Through a careful analysis of Whitman’s handling of the simultaneous development of the poet-prophet and the nation, his masterful fusion of the personal element and the national element, an understanding of the complex structure of Leaves of Grass emerges. Crawley presents an analysis of Whitman’s final and carefully arrived at grouping of the lyrics in the 1881 edition according to a definite, distinguishable pattern—a pattern revealed in Whitman’s use of allusions, in his transitional poems and passages, and, most important, in his thematic handling of imagery. The cumulative effect of these devices is emphasized. The organic development of Leaves of Grass, made possible by Whitman’s faith in and careful adherence to his concept of the organic theory of art, is substantiated. Crawley concludes his analysis with a detailed examination of the growth of Leaves of Grass as reflected in the various editions leading up to the 1881 volume, the last to be revised and published by Whitman.

"Drum-Taps" by Walt Whitman is an affirmative and poignant collection of poems that reflects the poet's deep engagement with the American Civil War. Published during the mid-19th century, Whitman's work captures the emotional and physical toll of war while celebrating the resilience and spirit of the American people. In "Drum-Taps," readers can expect a series of verses that provide a vivid and personal portrayal of the Civil War experience. Whitman, often referred to as the "poet of democracy," likely employs a free verse style to convey the raw and unfiltered emotions of soldiers on the battlefield, as well as the impact of the war on the nation. The title, "Drum-Taps," suggests a thematic focus on the military and the rhythmic beats of war drums, emphasizing the sounds and cadences associated with conflict. Whitman's verses may explore themes of camaraderie, sacrifice, and the profound human experiences that emerge during times of strife.
