A fully unexpurgated collection that restores the sexual vitality and subversive flair suppressed by Whitman himself in later editions of
Leaves of Grass.
A century after his death, Whitman is still celebrated as America's greatest poet. In this startling new edition of his work, Whitman biographer Gary Schmidgall presents over 200 poems in their original pristine form, in the chronological order in which they were written, with Whitman's original punctuation. Included in this volume are facsimiles of Whitman's original manuscripts, contemporary-and generally blistering-reviews of Whitman's poetry (not surprisingly Henry James hated it), and early pre-
Leaves of Grasspoems that return us to the physical Whitman, rejoicing-sometimes graphically-in homoerotic love.
Unlike the many other available editions, all drawn from the final authorized or "deathbed"
Leaves of Grass, this collection focuses on the exuberant poems Whitman wrote during the creative and sexual prime of his life, roughly between l853 and l860. These poems are faithfully presented as Whitman first gave them to the world-fearless, explicit and uncompromised-before he transformed himself into America's respectable, mainstream Good Gray Poet through thirty years of revision, self-censorship and suppression.
Whitman admitted that his later poetry lacked the "ecstasy of statement" of his early verse. Revealing that ecstasy for the first time, this edition makes possible a major reappraisal of our nation's first great poet.
"Gary Schmidgall's thrilling new edition of Whitman restores the poet's true voice-at once radical and intimate, tender and triumphant. This book vividly reminds us that Whitman's poems are the soul's-cry and heart's-blood of the American imagination." ¿J. D. McClatchy, critic and poet
