HOLT. RINEHART AND WINSTON

From the introduction by Galway Kinnell: The poems of Walt Whitman meant little to me when I read them in high school and college. Luckily, when I was teaching at the University of Grenoble in my late twenties, I was required to give a course on Whitman. My experience of Leaves of Grass then was intense. . . . Soon I understood that poetry could be transcendent, hymn-like, a cosmic song, and yet remain idolatrously attached to the creatures and things of our world. . . . Once again, as when I first began writing, it seemed it might be possible to say everything in poetry.

Democratic Vistas, and Other Papers (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Democratic Vistas, and Other Papers Several of the pieces are ostensibly in explanation of my own writings but in that very process they best include and set forth their side of principles and general ities pressing vehemently for consideration our age. Upon the whole, it is on the atmosphere they are born in, and, (i hope) give out, more than any specific piece or trait, I would care to rest.
