When Lilacs Last in Dooryard Bloom'd Abraham Lincoln Works Cited Walt Whitman (1819-1892) This fisherman, editor, journalist, carpenter, bureaucrat, and poet revolutionized poetry by choosing such uncommon subjects such as the "values of the common, the miracle of the mouse, the wholesome soundness of the calloused hand, the body's sweat," and men and women's sexuality in his anthology Leaves of Grass. His free verse, use of rhythm and choice of symbols pushed the limits of the poetic form and made it accessible even to the common man/woman. Several of his masterpieces include the poems " When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloom'd ," or "Out of the Cradle Endlessly Rocking" where he paid tribute to Abraham Lincoln and his cause and which revealed his American democratic idealism. He sympathized with the efforts to end slavery and save the Union during the American Civil War. He strongly believed in the liberty of all human beings in this cosmos of which we are all part. The preface to the Leaves of Grass reveals his idealism:

Home Early American Poets walt whitman Site Map Early American Poets walt whitman Whitman's Poetry Whitman biography Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Emily Dickinson ... Poem of the Day Archive Walt Whitman At the outbreak of the Civil War, Whitman vowed to live a "purged" and "cleansed" life. He wrote freelance journalism and visited the wounded at New York-area hospitals. He then traveled to Washington, D.C. in December 1862 to care for his brother who had been wounded in the war. Overcome by the suffering of the many wounded in Washington, Whitman decided to stay and work in the hospitals. Whitman stayed in the city for eleven years. He took a job as a clerk for the Department of the Interior, which ended when the Secretary of the Interior, James Harlan, discovered that Whitman was the author of Leaves of Grass, which Harlan found offensive. Harlan fired the poet. Whitman struggled to support himself through most of his life. In Washington he lived on a clerk's salary and modest royalties, and spent any excess money, including gifts from friends, to buy supplies for the patients he nursed. He had also been sending money to his widowed mother and an invalid brother. From time to time writers both in the states and in England sent him "purses" of money so that he could get by. In the early 1870s, Whitman settled in Camden, where he had come to visit his dying mother at his brother's house. However, after suffering a stroke, Whitman found it impossible to return to Washington. He stayed with his brother until the 1882 publication of Leaves of Grass gave Whitman enough money to buy a home in Camden. In the simple two-story clapboard house, Whitman spent his declining years working on additions and revisions to a new edition of the book and preparing his final volume of poems and prose, Good-Bye, My Fancy (1891). After his death on March 26, 1892, Whitman was buried in a tomb he designed and had built on a lot in Harleigh Cemetery.

WhitmanWalt OpenPoetryProject RecentChanges Preferences Walt Whitman (1819-1892) Family Origins Walt Whitman is thus of the first generation of Americans who were born in the newly formed United States and grew up assuming the stable existence of the new country. Pride in the emergent nation was rampant, and Walter Sr.—after giving his first son Jesse (1818-1870) his own father’s name, his second son his own name, his daughter Mary (1822-1899) the name of Walt’s maternal great grandmothers, and his daughter Hannah (1823-1908) the name of his own mother—turned to the heroes of the Revolution and the War of 1812 for the names of his other three sons: Andrew Jackson Whitman (1827-1863), George Washington Whitman (1829-1901), and Thomas Jefferson Whitman (1833-1890). Only the youngest son, Edward (1835-1902), who was mentally and physically handicapped, carried a name that tied him to neither the family’s nor the country’s history. A Brooklyn Childhood and Long Island Interludes Visiting his grandparents on Long Island was one of Whitman’s favorite boyhood activities, and during those visits he developed his lifelong love of the Long Island shore, sensing the mystery of that territory where water meets land, fluid melds with solid. One of Whitman’s greatest poems, "Out of the Cradle Endlessly Rocking," is on one level a reminiscence of his boyhood on the Long Island shore and of how his desire to be a poet arose in that landscape. The idyllic Long Island countryside formed a sharp contrast to the crowded energy of the quickly growing Brooklyn-New York City urban center. Whitman’s experiences as a young man alternated between the city and the Long Island countryside, and he was attracted to both ways of life. This dual allegiance can be traced in his poetry, which is often marked by shifts between rural and urban settings.

WALT WHITMAN Walt Whitman was an American poet and a son of Long Island. His collection of poems, "Leaves of Grass" was a continuing endeavor, growing from the original volume of 12 works first published in 1855 to an edition of over 300 works at the time of his death in 1892. The collection is considered one of the world's major literary works and stands as a revolutionary development in poetry: Walt's free verse and rhythmic innovations stand in marked contrast to the rigid rhyming and structural patterns formerly considered so essential to poetic expression. Walt was a firm believer in democracy and much in "Leaves of Grass" gives us a clear vision of his belief that American ideals might serve as an example to the world. He greatly admired Abraham Lincoln as an exponent of these ideals, and upon Lincoln's death he wrote, "When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloom'd". Lincoln died in April, and the blooming lilacs would not only remind him of the death of Lincoln, but also would serve as a metaphor for the eternal renewal of life. Although in the post Civil War period, he became somewhat disillusioned with the aggressive materialism and corruption of a rapidly changing, industrializing society, he maintained a firm belief that eventually ideals would triumph over greed. Whitman was a gregarious man who loved life, knew how to have a good time, and loved children and good company. His work is less a logical discourse than it is a spontaneous outpouring of emotion. It is from emotion that it derives its power. At times, Whitman reached not for cosmic, transcendental levels, but dealt with the elemental and intimate on a purely emotional level. His bold feelings about love and sexuality as evidenced in such poems as "A Woman Waits for Me" and "Once I Walked Through a Populous City" found in "Children of Adam" are absolutely remarkable in the context of the Victorian society in which he lived.

Literary Kicks Visit the general discussion board or view list of boards Walt Whitman Many writers have been called timeless, but Walt Whitman deserves this description in a special way. He invented himself in 1855 with a slim volume of poetry, 'Leaves of Grass,' that seemed to have come from nowhere and connected to nothing else that was being written at that time or any other. The poems were about himself, plain and simple, especially the ecstatic 'Song Of Myself,' which celebrated the explosive joy of living inside a human body. The poems were as sexually frank as diary entries, and the rhythms of the words took 'free verse' to a new threshold; it was as if meter and rhyme had never existed. Walter Whitman (he chose to become 'Walt' when he became a writer) was born of Quaker parentage on May 31, 1819 in West Hills near Huntington, Long Island. He was 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."
