A crisp, intimate encounter with a giant of American letters. A Day With Walt Whitman offers readers a doorway into the man behind the myth, through a sharply observed blend of biography excerpt, literary essay, and creative non fiction. Maurice Clare guides you through Whitman's enduring questions: democracy in poetry, the vow of inclusivity, and the restless search for a form that matches a vast, evolving republic. The book unfolds as a compelling study of nineteenth century america, its transatlantic companions, and the american transcendental context that helped shape Whitman's visionary voice. It sits comfortably as a literary students guide and a teacher classroom resource, inviting readers from school desks to quiet study into a deeper appreciation of a true american literary icon. This edition is more than a reprint. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions, it is restored for today's readers and for future generations. It stands as a complete edition notes in spirit, offering clarity, reverence, and accessibility without sacrificing texture or ambition. Akin to an Emily Dickinson parallel in method and scope, it foregrounds Whitman's life and work-while never losing sight of the poetry that cements his status in the canon. A collector's item and a cultural treasure, crafted for both casual readers and devoted collectors alike.
