A Corner of Myself
Song of Myself is a perfect introduction to the work of Walt Whitman. In it, the poet celebrates himself as a person, but represents everyone. The speaker in the poem speaks for all people and perhaps even through them, highlighting and exalting the astonishing wonder of the human experience.
In times of open and extraordinarily troubling conflict between Man and Nature, Whitman's words, the inspiration for all modern lyricism, rediscover meanings, exploring the human ability to unite with what surrounds them, but also the devastating capacity to destroy it.
Written with the body and with the soul, which the author so often does not even distinguish, in an approach as poetic as it is philosophical, Song of Myself is the ideal book to savor, to read slowly, to slowly include, yet so deeply that it may stay with you forever. Reading it is almost being Walt Whitman.
