| Description: |
|
A moving, penetrating, sharply focused portrait of America's greatest poet - his genius, his passions, his androgynous sensibility - an exuberant life entwined with the turbulent history of mid-nineteenth century America. In vivid detail, the author examines the mysterious selves of this enigmatic man whose bold voice of joy and sexual liberation embraced a growing nation....and exposes the quintessential Whitman, that perfect poet whose astonishing verse made "words sing, dance, kiss, and copulate" for an entire world to hear. Kaplan gives us flesh and blood Whitman in this fine and sensitive biography. |
