The young journalist and reformer Horace Traubel visited Whitman
nearly every day at his home in Camden, New Jersey. Whitman liked
to talk, especially about the big issues, spiritual, political -
all he'd learned over seven decades of peace and war. To mark the
bicentenary of Walt Whitman's death, Carcanet presents Brenda
Wineapple's distillation from these conversations with the great
American poet. Whitman speaks from the heart, an old man who
changed the course of American poetry and, by extension, the
poetries of Europe, Asia, Latin America. Here, too, is the poet's
worldly side - recalling the opprobrium heaped on Leaves of Grass
for its poetic risks and sexual frankness; memories of Thoreau,
Emerson and Lincoln; his judgments of Shakespeare, Goethe and
Tolstoy; and his sense of the Nation.
