The Portable Walt Whitman
Whitman's poetry, with its energetic style, looseness of form, and breadth of subject matter, revolutionized American writing. His declared intention was to create poetry that was distinctively American, to give something to our literature that will be our own...--a democratic vision that encompassed and celebrated all races and classes. Whitman's technique often involved making lists of the wonders and varieties of the human experience: contraltos, carpenters, duck-shooters, lunatics, machinists, immigrants, reformers, squaws, deckhands, millgirls, opium eaters, the President, fishermen, patriarchs, old folks--all these categories of people, plus hundreds more, appear in his work. He referred to himself in a poem as Walt Whitman, an American.../Disorderly, fleshly and sensual, and he prophesied his own popularity when he wrote, Missing me in one place search another,/I stop somewhere waiting for you.

Collected Poems 1943-2004
Richard Wilbur`s COLLECTED POEMS is a volume to celebrate: it contains every poem he has written up to the year 2004, when he turned 83, including his children`s verse (some with his own funny drawings) and the brilliant lyrics he wrote for Leonard Bernstein`s CANDIDE. Known for the serenity and optimism of his poetry, and his appreciation for the quiet pleasures of life, Wilbur has always been a marked contrast to his more anguished contemporaries, like Robert Lowell and John Berryman. Wilbur`s long and successful career has included 17 collections of poetry as well as criticism, translations (particularly of Molihre), prose works, and children`s books; he has been the U.S. poet laureate, a National Book Award recipient, and a two-time winner of the Pulitzer Prize.
