So Long! Walt Whitman'S Poetry Of Death,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Explores Whitman's intimate and lifelong concern with mortality and his troubled speculations about the afterlifeWalt Whitman is unquestionably a great poet of the joys of living. But as Harold Aspiz demonstrates in this study, concerns with death and dying define Whitmans career as a thinker, a poet, and a person. Through a close reading of Leaves of Grass, its constituent poems, particularly Song of Myself, and Whitmans prose and letters, Aspiz charts how the poets exuberant celebration of lifethe cascade of sounds, sights, and smells that erupt in his verseis a consequence of his central concern: the everpresence of death and the prospect of an afterlife.Until now no one has studied as systematically the degree to which mortality informs Whitmans entire enterprise as a poet. So Long! devotes particular attention to Whitmans language and rich artistry in the context of the poets social and intellectual milieus. We see Whitman (and his many personae) as a folk prophet announcing a gospel of democracy and immortality; pondering death in alternating moods of acceptance and terror; fantasizing his own dying and his postmortem selfhood; yearning for mates and lovers while conscious of fallible flesh; agonizing over the omnipresence of death in wartime; patiently awaiting death; and launching imaginary journeys toward immortality and godhood.So Long! is valuable for American literature collections, students and scholars of Whitman and 19thcentury literature, and general readers interested in Whitman and poetry. By exploring Whitman's faith in death as a meaningful experience, we may understand better how the poetwhether personified as representative man, victim, hero, lover, or visionarylived so completely on the edge of life.
