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.
