Sinossi
Vigoroso e provocatorio, il lessico della quotidianità con cui Whitman rifonda la poesia americana si fa veicolo di quella visione intensamente romantica e al tempo stesso genuinamente egualitaria, che permea le varie fasi di un'epica moderna democraticamente rivolta all'individuo e alle masse di americani da cui essa trae ispirazione. La presente raccolta riunisce liriche tratte dalle opere più celebri del poeta americano: "Dediche", "Partendo da Paumanok", "Il canto di me stesso", "Figli d'Adamo", "Calamus", "Canto dell'Esposizione", "Canto della sequoia", "Relitti marini", "In memoria del presidente Lincoln". Nella poesia di Whitman, i tratti più vari della realtà coeva si fondono in un linguaggio magmatico e innovativo, fitto di contaminazioni e di neologismi, di ripetizioni e di allitterazioni che, assumendo i registri e i moduli della tradizione orale, conferiscono al verso libero un andamento spiccatamente musicale.

Whitman isn't always my cup of tea. He has a few favorite topics that he loves to hit over and over again, but you can't say he doesn't do it well. It's just that sometimes, moving through this collection, I'll get into a new entry and roll my eyes as he extols his love for American Liberty for the
“You have not known what you are—you have slumbered upon yourself all your / life;” Whitman has a way of just wrapping you up in this beautiful, elegant prose that sounds so nice and feels so good you don’t even think about depth and meaning. But man oh man, diving into the words is so so rewarding. Leggi tutto
An incredibly annoying 2 stars I had to give this book. In most parts, this collection of poems reads like the incoherent rambles of an old senile man, with the rarest glimpse of sanity and real feeling (eg "Envy" or "Oh Captain, my Captain"). Most poems are just collections of different items on Wh Leggi tutto
When you read poems that do not have a cadence, you quickly discover that there is a fine line between poetry and rambling. Sadly, you have a 50/50 shot with this collection of Whitman's "poems".
No es esta la compilación que leí pero bueno, pasa (?) Whitman nos sumerge con su poesía en su particular mirada del mundo, donde priman el amor por la naturaleza, la unión con el otro y la crítica a la guerra. Debo admitir que este libro no fue para mí. No terminó de llegarme y sólo pude destacar un Leggi tutto

I read it and reread it. I feel like I haven't finished it.
