Literary Criticism. Poetry. First published to wide critical acclaim in 1981, this revised and expanded monumental anthology charts the ongoing American and international response to the legacy of the seminal poet Walt Whitman (1819-1892). Beginning with Ralph Waldo Emerson's famous 1855 letter ("I greet you at the beginning of a great career..."), this new edition contains responses from Thoreau, Pound, Lawrence, Neruda, Borges, Ginsberg, Jordan, Duncan, Le Sueur, Rich, Snyder and Alexie, among many others. "I know of no more convincing proof of Walt Whitman's impact upon the poetic mind (both at home and abroad) than this collection of tributes by poets -- in prose and verse" -- Gay Wilson Allen, THE SOLITARY SINGER. Includes 17 black & white photos.
Measuring Walt Whitman's influence.
| Customer Rating: | Whitman may be my favorite poet. That bias aside, for those who appreciate Whitman, or for those who simply enjoy Whitman-style poetry, this anthology should not be missed. In roughly 150 letters, essays, and poems collected since the 1855 publication of "Leaves of Grass" through the 1990s, this book measures the influence Whitman has had upon poets including Pound, Eliot, Garcia Lorca, Stevens, William Carlos Williams, Ginsberg, Kerouac, Neruda, Borges, Levertov, Ferlinghetti, Bly, Snyder, Yusef Komunyakaa, and Anayo.
