I grew up near Huntington, the Long Island town where Walt Whitman was born in 1819. Whitman didn't stick around here long, though. He wrote a few poems about Long Island, but he lived most of his adult life in Brooklyn. He also put in a few years as a schoolteacher in Jamaica, Queens, and spent the last years of his life in Camden, New Jersey. As a young kid growing up on Long Island, I didn't like it much either. The suburbs rub me the wrong way. When I was a teenager, I used to hop on the Long Island Railroad and go into the city every chance I got. I was 16 the first night I slept in Penn Station, after I went alone to a Richard Hell and the Voidoids concert at Irving Plaza and found out I didn't have enough change in my pocket for the train home. (It was a crummy night. I slept sitting against a tile wall, and in the morning a cop woke me by smacking me hard on the arch of my foot with his stick. Now I know ... when those cops hit homeless people, they hit to hurt.) There's a mall named after Walt Whitman in Huntington, and I think this is typical of the lameness of Long Island. I'm not saying it's wrong to name malls after writers. I could picture going to Hannibal, Missouri and visiting the Mark Twain Mall, for instance, and I'd have no problem at all with this. I wouldn't even mind a glitzy upscale F. Scott Fitzgerald Mall on the north shore of Long Island, in Great Neck or Manhasset. But is there any American writer whose work has

Camden, New Jersey Home Contact Links Attractions Walt Whitman House "Camden was originally an accident, but I shall never be sorry I was left over in Camden. It has brought me blessed returns." In 1884, Walt Whitman purchased a modest, two-story frame house on Mickle Street for $1,750. It is the only house he ever owned. He lived there until his death in 1892, at the age of seventy-two. He had come to Camden years earlier, in 1873, and lived with his brother George on nearby Stevens Street. By this time, Whitman's international reputation attracted the attention of the day's most prominent literary figures. Among them, Charles Dickens, Willaim M. Thackeray, and Oscar Wilde came to Camden to visit America's greatest poet. When George and his wife Louisa decided to move to rural Burlington, New Jersey, Walt chose to stay in Camden. With the surprising success of the 1882 edition of Leaves of Grass, Whitman was able to purchase his own home. He soon met Mary O. Davis, the widow of a sea captain, who was renting a house on West Street. The aging poet proposed that she move into his empty house with her furniture, rent free, and keep house for him. He would provide the living expenses and pay her a small salary. Mrs. Davis moved in and remained with Whitman until his death on March 26, 1892. Whitman referred to Mary as his housekeeper and friend. During his years in Camden, Whitman became a friend of the Philadelphia artist, Thomas Eakins. These two giants of nineteenth-century American culture found much to admire in each other's work. Each in his own medium broke with conventions, creating something new and distinctively American. Eakins photographed Whitman and painted his portrait.

The high and controversial emotions which surrounded Whitman in life attended his death: in the same issue that carried his obituary, the New York Times declared that he could not be called "a great poet unless we deny poetry to be an art," while one funeral speech declared that "He walked among men, among writers, among verbal varnishers and veneerers, among literary milliners and tailors, with the unconscious majesty of an antique god." Whitman's First Leaves of Grass On this day in 1855 Walt Whitman registered the title Leaves of Grass with the clerk of the United States District Court, New York; the first edition was published seven weeks later. Over the next thirty-six years Whitman would add many more poems and publish seven more editions, all in an effort to "Unscrew the locks from the doors! / Unscrew the doors themselves from their jambs!"

The last explanation always remains to be made about prudence, Little and large alike drop quietly aside from the prudence that suits immortality. The soul is of itself, All verges to it, all has reference to what ensues, All that a person does, says, thinks, is of consequence, Not a move can a man or woman make, that affects him or her in a day, month, any part of the direct lifetime, or the hour of death, But the same affects him or her onward afterward through the indirect lifetime. The indirect is just as much as the direct, The spirit receives from the body just as much as it gives to the body, if not more.

71. Walt Whitman: Democratic Vistas DEMOCRATIC VISTAS. As the greatest lessons of Nature through the universe are perhaps the lessons of variety and freedom, the same present the greatest http://xroads.virginia.edu/~Hyper/Whitman/vistas/vistas.html

DEMOCRATIC VISTAS Admitting all this, with the priceless value of our political institutions, general suffrage, (and fully acknowledging the latest, widest opening of the doors,) I say that, far deeper than these, what finally and only is to make of our western world a nationality superior to any hither known, and out-topping the past, must be vigorous, yet unsuspected Literatures, perfect personalities and sociologies, original, transcendental, and expressing (what, in highest sense, are not yet express'd at all,) democracy and the modern. With these, and out of these, I promulge new races of Teachers, and of perfect Women, indispensable to endow the birth-stock of a New World. For feudalism, caste, the ecclesiastic traditions, though palpably retreating from political institutions, still hold essentially, by their spirit, even in this country, entire possession of the more important fields, indeed the very subsoil, of education, and of social standards and literature. View'd, to-day, from a point of view sufficiently over-arching, the problem of humanity all over the civilized world is social and religious, and is to be finally met and treated by literature. The priest departs, the divine literatus comes. Never was anything more wanted than, to-day, and here in the States, the poet of the modern is wanted, or the great literatus of the modern. At all times, perhaps, the central point in any nation, and that whence it is itself really sway'd the most, and whence it sways others, is its national literature, especially its archetypal poems. Above all previous lands, a great original literature is surely to become the justification and reliance, (in some respects the sole reliance,) of American democracy.

73. With Walt Whitman In Camden , History and Ordering Information for Volumes 8 9 of Horace Traubel s biography With walt whitman in Camden, published by WL Bentley Rare...... http://www.wlbentley.com/wwic/WWIChome.html

IN 1888, HORACE L. TRAUBEL, a young political radical and aspiring writer in Camden, New Jersey, began systematically recording his daily conversations with his friend, Walt Whitman. He continued for four years, until Whitman's death in 1892, amassing a lovingly detailed record whose accuracy, fidelity, and immediacy remain unsurpassed in the history of biography. With Walt Whitman in Camden present a firsthand account of the final year of Whitman's life. Like the previous volumes in the series, they are a virtual transcript of the daily conversations between Whitman and Traubel, describing Whitman's thoughts and opinions, the arrivals and departures of visitors from all over the world, articles and letters he received and wrote, and hundreds of details of his life on Mickle Street in Camden. Traubel was able to publish only three volumes of his planned series before his death in 1919. Since then, a succession of editors has continued his massive project. One by one, four further volumes were made available to the public, but of these, all but Volume 7 are now out of print and have become rarities, seen only occasionally on library shelves and in booksellers catalogs. These final two volumes mark the long-awaited completion of "the most truthful biography in the language." Nevertheless, they stand easily on their own, giving the reader direct access to some of the most poignant, moving moments in the poet's life.

Every body is brown! These are the twentieth-century warriors who will never kill, although a few sat quietly in the deserts of Kuwait, waiting for orders to do something, to do something. God, there is nothing as beautiful as a jumpshot on a reservation summer basketball court where the ball is moist with sweat, and makes a sound when it swishes through the net that causes Walt Whitman to weep because it is so perfect. There are veterans of foreign wars here although their bodies are still dominated by collarbones and knees, although their bodies still respond in the ways that bodies are supposed to respond when we are young. Every body is brown! Look there, that boy can run up and down this court forever. He can leap for a rebound
