Camarade, ceci n'est pas un livre - Qui touche ceci touche un homme. Walt Whitman Il faut que je confesse que moi, un Toscan, un Italien, un Latin, je n'ai pas senti ce que voulait dire la poesie en lisant Virgile ou Dante et encore moins Petrarque et le Tasse, poetes de luxe et par consequent plus hommes de lettres que poetes, mais bien en lisant les enumerations pueriles et les invocations passionnees du bon faucheur des Feuilles d'Herbe. Giovanni Papini, Ritratti Stranieri, 1908-1921. Pour retrouver tous les volumes de la serie Poesie Magique,

This book is the first to offer a comprehensive selection of Walt Whitman's Civil War poetry and prose with a full commentary on each work. Ed Folsom and Christopher Merrill carry on a dialogue with Whitman (and with each other) as they invite readers to trace how Whitman's writing about the Civil War develops, shifts, and manifests itself in different genres throughout the years of the war. The book offers forty selections of Whitman's war writings, including not only the well-known war poems but also his prose and personal letters. Each are followed by Folsom's critical examination and then by Merrill's afterword, suggesting broader contexts for thinking about the selection. The real democratic reader, Whitman said, 'must himself or herself construct indeed the poem, argument, history, metaphysical essay-the text furnishing the hints, the clue, the start or frame-work,' because what is needed for democracy to flourish is 'a nation of supple and athletic minds.' Folsom and Merrill model this kind of active reading and encourage both seasoned and new readers of Whitman's war writings to enter into the challenging and exhilarating mode of talking back to Whitman, arguing with him, and learning from him.

The young journalist and reformer Horace Traubel visited Whitman nearly every day at his home in Camden, New Jersey. Whitman liked to talk, especially about the big issues, spiritual, political - all he'd learned over seven decades of peace and war. To mark the bicentenary of Walt Whitman's death, Carcanet presents Brenda Wineapple's distillation from these conversations with the great American poet. Whitman speaks from the heart, an old man who changed the course of American poetry and, by extension, the poetries of Europe, Asia, Latin America. Here, too, is the poet's worldly side - recalling the opprobrium heaped on Leaves of Grass for its poetic risks and sexual frankness; memories of Thoreau, Emerson and Lincoln; his judgments of Shakespeare, Goethe and Tolstoy; and his sense of the Nation.
