Luckily, when I was teaching at the University of Grenoble in my late twenties, I was required to give a course on Whitman. My experience of Leaves of Grass then was intense. . . . Soon I understood that poetry could be transcendent, hymn-like, a cosmic song, and yet remain idolatrously attached to the creatures and things of our world. . . . Once again, as when I first began writing, it seemed it might be possible to say everything in poetry.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Ecco Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/14\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780060887926\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.00h x 4.40w x 0.60d\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Walt Whitman","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42924774195381,"sku":"9780060887926","price":13.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_b5f8da4f-ee76-4d9b-aa00-b68b23015e4a.jpg?v=1687838017","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/essential-whitman-9780060887926","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
