Book Synopsis So Long! Walt Whitman's Poetry of Death by : Harold Aspiz
Book excerpt: Through a close reading of Leaves of Grass, its constituent poems, particularly Song of Myself and Whitman's prose and letters, Aspiz charts how the poet's exuberant celebration of life is a consequence of his central concern: the ever presence of death and the prospect of an afterlife.
