Extractions: Entries Publication Data Advisory Board Contributors ... World Civilizations The Reader's Companion to American History , poet. Born on Long Island, New York, Whitman was the son of a house builder. Largely self-educated, he learned the printer's trade and taught school. Between 1838 and 1855 he edited papers in New York, Brooklyn, and New Orleans while turning out unremarkable poems, sketches, and stories and immersing himself in political and cultural life. He delighted in oratory and grand opera, became a devotee of phrenology, and mixed happily with urban crowds, relishing ferry-boat pilots, Broadway omnibus drivers, firemen, and Bowery roughs. His mind was "simmering" as he took in the kaleidoscopic scenehis reading Shakespeare, Carlyle, Goethe, George Sand, and, above all, Emerson brought it to a "boil." Out of this chemistry came Leaves of Grass. What he called a "language experiment" exfoliated in successive stages from the 12 poems of the 1855 edition to the more than 350 poems of the "deathbed" edition of 1891. It was at once a ventilation of his mind and memory and a qualified celebration of American history, politics, geography, occupations, and speech. Whitman's protean work was slow to win acceptance. Antebellum reviewers, shocked by his anatomical delineations of the "body electric," pronounced him the "dirtiest beast" of his age and mocked his neologisms and stylistic oddities. Today he is recognized as one of the most original and influential American poets and by some as a forerunner of homosexual liberation.

PEOPLE ARE TREES TOO!
Inspired by walt whitman's Song of the Open Road , this site speculates on alternative living styles and is critical of private property.
http://iPoet.com/FEATURES/Street-Spirit/Street1.html

Extractions: sleep with the earth." All excerpts from Walt Whitman's Song of the Open Road, published in 1856. Welcome to the 20th century, pal. Try eating and sleeping anywhere *with the earth* around these parts, and your keister will end up in the hoosegow pronto. That's the story for people like you, buddy, with your "leaves of grass" and songs of freedom. That's illegal now too. You're in lot of trouble, buster. But, wait, what's this?! North America's answer to the problem of the "ethnic cleansing," PEOPLE ARE TREES TOO! supports the natural right of people everywhere to "eat and sleep with the earth," to put down roots and have those roots respected, to walk freely upon the earth without check or charge, to stop and stand when and where they want, to fashion shelter or not as they choose. We in America recognize the value in allowing stands of trees to put down roots and grow in the open air undisturbed. PEOPLE ARE TREES TOO! asks you to consider the right of human beings to live free as important as that of trees. Think this view radical? Take a look at this again from Song of the Open Road by Walt Whitman, America's "poet laureate," favorite of presidents since Abraham Lincoln:
León Y Whitman
Selecci³n de poemas de Canto a m mismo, traducidos y recreados por Le³n Felipe.
http://www.geocities.com/Paris/Metro/1250/leon.html

Extractions: Pia Sánchez A pesar de que Walt Whitman y León Felipe no son poetas contemporáneos, ni siquiera coterráneos, me resulta casi imposible recordarlos individualmente, pues la traducción que hace León Felipe del CANTO A MI MISMO a nuestra lengua castellana logra superar con gran ventaja cualquier otra traducción hecha de éste, mostrándonos, con la misma fuerza poética del original: la pasión, sensibilidad y orgullo de Whitman. No cometeré el error de tratar de hacer una biografía (ni siquiera un resumen biográfico) de Whitman, pues como dijera León Felipe: "El gran vitalista no tiene biografía. Ni autobiografía tampoco. Su verdad y su vida no están en su prosa, están en su canción. El canto a mi mismo es su verdadera autobiografía (y la tuya también, o no es absolutamente nada)". Si alguien quiere conocer al gran poeta americano, no tiene mas que acercarse a su única obra: Hojas de hierba. Además de la magistral traducción del CANTO A MI MISMO, León Felipe nos regala en el prólogo nueve poemas en los que presenta a Whitman como un poeta revolucionario y heroico, que va en contra de las absurdas leyes de los hombres y de esa desigualdad humana de su época que continua vigente en nuestros días. León Felipe y Walt Whitman son poetas que cantaron individualmente a sus patrias y por el cese de las injusticias y las hipocresías políticas, cabe ahora preguntarse ¿Cuántos de nosotros realmente los escuchamos?.

http://www.theatlantic.com/unbound/poetry/whitman/walt.htm

Extractions: I Then, one day, I was stopped on Washington Street by a friend who made this startling announcement: "Walt Whitman is in town; I have seen him!" When I asked where, he replied: "At the stereotype foundry, just around the corner. Come along! I'll take you to him." The author of Leaves of Grass had loomed so large in my imagination as to seem almost superhuman; and I was filled with some such feeling of wonder and astonishment as if I had been invited to meet Socrates or King Solomon. We found a large, gray-haired and gray-bearded, plainly dressed man, reading proof-sheets at a desk in a little dingy office, with a lank, unwholesome-looking lad at his elbow, listlessly watching him. The man was Whitman, and the proofs were those of his new edition. There was a scarcity of chairs, and Whitman, rising to receive us, offered me his; but we all remained standing except the sickly looking lad, who kept his seat until Whitman turned to him and said, "You'd better go now; I'll see you this evening." After he had gone out, Whitman explained: "He is a friendless boy I found at my boarding place. I am trying to cheer him up and strengthen him with my magnetism." My readers may think this a practical but curiously prosaic illustration of these powerful lines in the early poems: "To any one dying, thither I speed and twist the knob of the door.

http://www.harbour.sfu.ca/~hayward/van/glossary/whitman.html

Extractions: Whitman, Walt The following extract is taken from Levi Asher's page on Walt Whitman , part of his Web project on Jack Kerouac and the Beats: Walt Whitman (May 31, 1819 - March 26, 1892) was born of Quaker parentage near Huntington, Long Island. He taught in various Long Island schools and worked for several newspapers, including the Brooklyn Eagle. He published some of his writings, but by his mid-thirties had still not displayed the slightest hint of his unique talent and vision. He published Leaves of Grass himself in 1855. He mailed a copy to Ralph Waldo Emerson, who immediately recognized the book's unusual worth and wrote Whitman a letter with the famous line so many writers have since wished to hear: "I greet you at the beginning of a great career." Whitman was enormously affected by the Civil War, and published a series of wartime poems under the title Drum-Taps . These poems, like many others, were eventually folded into Leaves of Grass , which Whitman added to throughout his life, publishing nine different editions. By the end of his life Whitman was a tremendous literary celebrity. More information is available at: Leaves of Grass - The text of the 1900 edition.

Add to a Notebook Walt Whitman Born on May 31, 1819, Walt Whitman was the second son of Walter Whitman, a housebuilder, and Louisa Van Velsor. The family, which consisted of nine children, lived in Brooklyn and Long Island in the 1820s and 1830s. At the age of twelve Whitman began to learn the printer's trade, and fell in love with the written word. Largely self-taught, he read voraciously, becoming acquainted with the works of Homer , Dante, Shakespeare , and the Bible. Whitman worked as a printer in New York City until a devastating fire in the printing district demolished the industry. In 1836, at the age of 17, he began his career as teacher in the one-room school houses of Long Island. He continued to teach until 1841, when he turned to journalism as a full-time career. He founded a weekly newspaper, Long-Islander , and later edited a number of Brooklyn and New York papers. In 1848, Whitman left the Brooklyn Daily Eagle to become editor of the New Orleans Crescent . It was in New Orleans that he experienced at first hand the viciousness of slavery in the slave markets of that city. On his return to Brooklyn in the fall of 1848, he founded a "free soil" newspaper, the

Jim Harrison
If Henry Miller, S.J. Perelman and walt whitman had holed up in a Michigan roadhouse to concoct a mystery yarn, the resulting melange of cosmic erotica, snappish humor and hirsute lyricism might resemble Warlock by poet and novelist Jim Harrison
http://www.digidot.com/sal9697/Jim_Harrison.html

Extractions: "If Henry Miller, S.J. Perelman and Walt Whitman had holed up in a Michigan roadhouse to concoct a mystery yarn, the resulting melange of cosmic erotica, snappish humor and hirsute lyricism might resemble Warlock by poet and novelist Jim Harrison" ( Time ). Harrison is a stylist, often compared to Hemingway, with an appetite for nonconformity, a reverence for nature, and a passion for food, wine, travel, fishing and hunting. His first major work of fiction, Legends of the Fall (1979) "may well be the best set of novellas to appear in this country during the last quarter century" ( The New York Times Book Review ). Though now an acclaimed author of nine books of fiction, including Dalva (1988) and The Woman Lit by Fireflies (1990), and seven collections of poetry, including Locations (1968) and Letters to Yesenin (1973), Harrison has avoided the literary game. "Stubbornly, and to my view admirably, Harrison has gone on his own way writing not to suit the bookish or commercial markets but to explore his own themes and visions" (Jonathan Yardley, Washington Post ). From his home in northern Michigan, Harrison writes in and of the heart of America: ordinary people struggling for an abundant life. The strength he brings to his work is a nourishing sense of pleasure.
