Walt Whitman’s Poetic Peace (from Cultivating Inner Peace)
Chapter 11 - Walt Whitman’s Poetic Peace
from Cultivating Inner Peace by Paul R. Fleischman, M.D.
"A hundred years after his death, Whitman’s life transpires the atmosphere of outdoor freedom. He is known as America’s pagan poet, who set the style of bohemian bard, beckoning to listeners today from old photographs that capture him in his rustic livery, cocked Stetson, open collar, and spirit of dusty rambles on timeless summer days.
The story of Whitman’s relationship with his literary
ancestors is not only instructive but intriguing, since he
intentionally distorted fact to sculpt a poetic truth. Both
what he initially intended to hide, and what his writing and
later confessions reveal, highlight the role of the vibration of
language in his journey toward poise, since Whitman’s life,
for all its breadth and creativity, was an increasingly dynamic,
selectively honed pilgrimage into peace."
