Song of Myself, the premier poem in Walt Whitmans Leaves of Grass, is widely believed to be one of the most important poems in American literature. A large part of the brilliance of Song of Myself is the raffish playfulness of its dictionthe poem belongs to the mid-nineteenth centurys love of wordplay that also characterizes Charles Dickens and Mark Twain. Walt Whitman was deeply interested in the American language as it was emerging in his time. Robert Hass and Paul Ebenkamps lexicon walks us through his greatest poem and, in its footsteps, much is revealed about the words Whitman chose in 1855their inflections, meanings, and native usages we wouldnt otherwise know. We are made to understand, perhaps truly for the first time, Whitmans query in Song of Myself: Have you felt so proud to get to the meaning of poems? In the first part of the collection, Hass offers an introduction to the poem and then, with Ebenkamp, a rich annotation of Song of Myself. The second part of this book includes poems from the span of Whitmans career, selected by Hass,that give us a fresh look at the beauty, authority, and sweep of Whitmans work.
