Walt Whitman, Prophet of Gay Liberation I doubt that any national poet has ever been so thoroughly a man of his nation as was Walt Whitman. To discuss Walt Whitman is to discuss what is finest and truest about the American Dream, for Whitman is the American Dream. His volume of poetry, Leaves of Grass , enlarged and refined from 1855 to 1892 — in other words, covering America's transition from an agricultural economy to an industrial power by way of a civil war — contains the myth that is America. It also reflects the ways in which America has sytematically mutilated its ideals, and Walt Whitman's personal life suffered much at the hands of the American taboo against sex and homosexual love. Yet Whitman remained a steadfast patriot, and retained till the end that cheerful optimism that still enables many to see in America the "bright promise" of the future. I still think that Whitman was exceedingly naive in his faith in such American ideals as the bountifull richness of motherhood, the joy of manual labour, the belief in "progress," the necessity of capitalistic enterprise, etc., but he has nevertheless poduced several handfuls of poems without a belief in which I would lose my own faith in the inevitable success of gay liberation. Whitman is America's greatest embarrassment, because if what he says about democracy is true, then the American ideal of universal equality is inherently homosexual, and homosexual love is the physiological basis of democracy. Whitman is a much more subversive and radical poet than even Jean Genet, and American school children for the past half-century have been carefully protected from exposure to America's greatest poet. I did not properly

His extraordinary example gave American verse much of its subsequent character and diction. Rejecting traditional constraints of form and subject matter, Whitman considered democracy itself appropriate grist for his own poetic mill, inventing a radically different sort of free verse to express what he had to say.

Whitman was largely self-taught; he left school at the age of 11 to go to work, missing the sort of traditional education that made most American Leaves of Grass (1855), which he rewrote and revised throughout his life, contains "Song of Myself," the most stunningly original poem ever written by an American. The enthusiastic praise that Emerson and a few others heaped on this daring volume confirmed Whitman in his poetic vocation, although the book was not a popular success. A visionary book celebrating all creation, Leaves of Grass was inspired largely by Emerson's writings, especially his essay "The Poet," which predicted a robust, open-hearted, universal kind of poet uncannily like Whitman himself. The poem's innovative, unrhymed, free-verse form, open celebration of sexuality, vibrant democratic sensibility, and extreme Romantic assertion that the poet's self was one with the poem, the universe, and the reader permanently altered the course of American poetry.

27. Walt Whitman (1819-1892) I use the 1855 versions of Song of Myself and The Sleepers because I think these poems represent whitman at his unrevised best. http://www9.georgetown.edu/faculty/bassr/heath/syllabuild/iguide/whitman.html

Walt Whitman (1819-1892) Contributing Editor: Betsy Eikkila Major Themes, Historical Perspectives, and Personal Issues I use the 1855 versions of "Song of Myself" and "The Sleepers" because I think these poems represent Whitman at his unrevised best. I begin with a biographical introduction, stressing Whitman's active engagement as radical Democrat and party journalist in the major political conflicts of pre-Civil War America. The inscription poem "One's-Self I Sing" and his vision of the poet balanced between pride and sympathy in the 1855 Preface serve as a good introduction to "Song of Myself." I usually begin by asking the students to talk about Whitman's free verse technique. What ordering devices does he use in the opening lines to achieve his poetic design: these include repetition, biblical parallelism, rhythmic recurrence, assonance, and consonance. Section 15 is a good illustration of the ways Whitman's catalog technique serves as a democratizing device, inscribing the pattern of many and one. By basing his verse in the single, end-stopped line at the same time that he fuses this linethrough various linking deviceswith the larger structure of the whole, Whitman weaves an overall pattern of unity in diversity. This pattern of many and onethe e pluribus unum that was the revolutionary seal of the American republicis the overarching figure of Leaves of Grass I present "Song of Myself" as a drama of democratic identity in which the poet seeks to balance and reconcile major conflicts in the body politic of America: the conflict between "separate person" and "en masse," individualism and equality, liberty and union, the South and the North, the farm and the city, labor and capital, black and white, female and male, religion and science. One can discuss any of the individual sections of the poem in relation to this conflict. Moments of particular conflict and crisis occur in sections 28 and 38. I ask the students to discuss the specific nature of the crisis in each of these sections. Both involve a loss of balance.

Whitman’s defiant break with traditional poetic concerns and style exerted a major influence on American thought and literature. Born near Huntington, New York, Whitman was the second of a family of nine children. His father was a carpenter. The poet had a particularly close relationship with his mother. When Whitman was four years old, his family moved to Brooklyn, New York, where he attended public school for six years before being apprenticed to a printer. Two years later he went to New York City to work in printing shops. He returned to Long Island in 1835 and taught in country schools. In 1838 and 1839 Whitman edited a newspaper, the

A Talk Delivered April 4, 1992 to the Mark Twain Association of New York By Peter Salwen Last month, as you probably know, marked the hundredth anniversary of Walt Whitman's death. Whitman, of course, was the great poet of New York, and many cultural institutions and groups are now honoring him with a two-month-long celebration that continues through the end of May. If you venture about five miles down Broadway from here, to the corner of Bleecker Street, you'll find yourself in front of a curious literary landmark. There's nothing to show it the ground floor today contains a Korean greengrocer and the rest of it seems to be used as some sort of warehouse but in this building a link was formed between the two literary giants of nineteenth-century America, Walt Whitman and Mark Twain. In the years leading up to the Civil War, a noisy bohemian group led by Whitman and the publisher Henry Clapp used to crowd into Pfaff's beer cellar under theBroadway pavement. Clapp was the publisher of the Saturday Press
