(woman) The topic of today’s lecture is Walt Whitman, an American poet and author of the renowned collection of poems Leaves of Grass. This volume of poems isa celebration of America, full of pride in the United States and. reverence for the goals of American democracy. ‘Whitman began writing Leaves of Grass in the middle of the nineteenth cen- tury, and the first edition appeared in 1855 with only twelve poems. Several other editions of Leaves of Grass appeared throughout Whitman's life- time with additional poems; Leaves of Grass grew and matured right along with Whitman, ‘The longest and best-known poem in Leaves of Grassis “Song of Myself,” which appeared in the first edition. ‘The poem “When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloomed” was added to a later edition. This poem was written at the time of Abraham Lincoln's death in 1865 and contained Whitman's reflections on that event. Lincoln's death occurred in April, in the spring, in a season of new life. This poem reflects that spring can be at the same time a period of death and a period of rebirth, ‘THIS LECTURE WOULD PROBABLY BE A PART (OF WHICH COURSE?
