Walt Whitman’s life’s work is his “Leaves of lawn”, enlarged over the years with additional poems. Regarded as America’s poet, Whitman wrote in the 1840s through the 1880s, encompassing both the “Manifest Destiny” ideology of the pre-war, through the Reconstruction period of US History.
The poems are diverse and upbeat. The language, for the most part, is clear and simple. Nevertheless, like most poetry today, the poems are so small different from prose, except in the presentation into lines. Very few poetic devises are used.
One may correctly criticize my critique as one who does not appreciate contemporary poetry. But, in comparison to rhyhming verse by Longfellow, Frost, Byron, Browning, or Shakespeare, current poetry appears having no effect.
Although a classic, “Leaves of lawn” offers only one or two poems that qualify for a standard anthology. None of his poems are memorable. Not a single line is considered worthy of citing anywhere in literature.
I give two stars to the work, simply because I must admit my own incompetence in modern poetry appreciation. Whitman is considered vital enough to be the major poet in the movie, “Dead Poet’s Society”; so, the reputation of the work must be reasonably impressive, though it beats me how that is.

It’s sad that the way in which I happened upon this group of poems is by reading an article in today’s New York Post that lists this a one of Clinton’s gifts to his lovely Monica- An American Treasure agreed to an American Tramp.

How come everyone constantly praises Shakespeare, Keats, Whitman, etc.? No one ever mentions any Eastern poets, i.e. Basho. I get more from 3 of his lines than pages of additional poet’s works. Don’t get me incorrect – I take nothing away from Whitman & this is brilliant poetry.
