Reseña del libro "Complete prose works. ( Specimen days and Collect, November boughs and Good bye my fancy ) By: Walt Whitman (1819-1892) (en Inglés)"

Walter "Walt" Whitman May 31, 1819 - March 26, 1892) was an American poet, essayist, and journalist. A humanist, he was a part of the transition between transcendentalism and realism, incorporating both views in his works. Whitman is among the most influential poets in the American canon, often called the father of free verse. His work was very controversial in its time, particularly his poetry collection Leaves of Grass, which was described as obscene for its overt sexuality. Born in Huntington on Long Island, Whitman worked as a journalist, a teacher, a government clerk, and-in addition to publishing his poetry-was a volunteer nurse during the American Civil War. Early in his career, he also produced a temperance novel, Franklin Evans (1842). Whitman's major work, Leaves of Grass, was first published in 1855 with his own money. The work was an attempt at reaching out to the common person with an American epic. He continued expanding and revising it until his death in 1892. After a stroke towards the end of his life, he moved to Camden, New Jersey, where his health further declined. When he died at age 72, his funeral became a public spectacle.Walter Whitman was born on May 31, 1819, in West Hills, Town of Huntington, Long Island, to parents with interests in Quaker thought, Walter and Louisa Van Velsor Whitman. The second of nine children, he was immediately nicknamed "Walt" to distinguish him from his father. Walter Whitman, Sr. named three of his seven sons after American leaders: Andrew Jackson, George Washington, and Thomas Jefferson. The oldest was named Jesse and another boy died unnamed at the age of six months. The couple's sixth son, the youngest, was named Edward. At age four, Whitman moved with his family from West Hills to Brooklyn, living in a series of homes, in part due to bad investments. Whitman looked back on his childhood as generally restless and unhappy, given his family's difficult economic status.One happy moment that he later recalled was when he was lifted in the air and kissed on the cheek by the Marquis de Lafayette during a celebration in Brooklyn on July 4, 1825.

Walt Whitman (1819-1892) es, sin lugar a dudas, el poeta más influyente de las letras estadounidenses. Nació en West Hills, Long Island, siendo el segundo de nueve hijos en una familia cercana al credo cuáquero. A los once años finalizó sus estudios formales y empezó a trabajar como aprendiz en el semanario The Patriot, donde comenzaría a escribir sus primeros textos. Tras su paso por otros periódicos y revistas, en 1850 decidió dedicarse plenamente a la poesía. Cinco años más tarde vería la luz la primera edición de la celebérrima Hojas de hierba, integrada por doce poemas y cuyos 795 ejemplares fueron costeados por el mismo autor. El poemario despertó gran interés y fue ampliamente distribuido, en parte por la fascinación que despertó en el filósofo Ralph Waldo Emerson. Durante la Guerra de Secesión, Whitman ejerció voluntariamente como enfermero en Washington D.C., experiencia que recogería en El gran ejército de la enfermedad (1863) y Memorias de la guerra (1875). Finalizado el conflicto en 1965, publicó Redobles de tambor. Mientras se empleaba en la Oficina del Fiscal General, Whitman siguió alzando la pluma para escribir versos como los de «¡Oh, Capitán! ¡Mi Capitán!», que, junto a otros, irían completando las sucesivas ediciones de Hojas de hierba hasta la novena y definitiva, que constó de un total de más de cuatrocientos poemas.
