5.0 out of 5 stars The noted profane !, November 7, 2004

By	Hiram Gomez Pardo (Valencia, Venezuela) - See all my reviews (TOP 100 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

Whitman is the maxim singer of Myself , the human body , sex , the universal fraternity , the democratic equality , he is considered the supreme poet of North America , his work is deeply renovator, has became an inspiration source to the new generations . Leave of grass takes back almost his whole work.
Published for the first time in 1855 , with nine corrected editions just before his death .
America was then the famous symbol of an ideal . The whole world turned its eyes toward America and its athletic democracy . The virtuous capacity of Whitman of being many in one has had many followers such as Sandbourg, Neruda, Lee Masters , Bukowski but there is just one sublime exception : James Joyce in Finnegans Wake .
But besides of him no one has been able to ascend these high peaks as Whitan did.

5.0 out of 5 stars !!!EMERALD!!!, June 7, 2005

By	Kyle C. Foley (Washington, DC) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

not only the greatest selling poet who has been dead for more than fifty years, not only the poet whose translations are regularly read abroad, not only the poet whose name has in-spired countless others, not only the poet who freed us from the manacles of rhyme and decapitated the tyranny of meter but also a man of enthusiasm, a titan, a man whose soul floods with belch, fume and quake, a man who confronts the ravenous centaurs of humdrum and blugeons them swiftly in a spasmo of frenzy-fire, a wanderer, a searcher, one whose mind travels vig-orously throughout the cosmimosa and embellishes it with jac-inths of thought and blooms of popy! not only a man of gargan-tuan passions, one who rages in the face of metallic storm but also a man whose depressions, fogs, glooms and sensitivity to flowers, softness and the defenseless bloom in stark heart-throb. no doubt he is a poet well worth a place beside such other titano-giants such as goethe, milton and homer, for he too sings the song of war, his book is a chanson of bellum for he sings of the battle of the passions, the climaximum of the emo-ceans, he challenges the raw specters of gash, their eyes oozing of slime-drab and rather than succumb to the oxen of indiffer-ence he instead triumphs over the gray and his book thus re-sounds in shinning claria! his is an adventure of thought sur-real in its gusto, jumping in its excitica and wild in its leap of ideas! thank celestium that he liberated us poets from the ab-surd manacles of rhyme and meter and we can now surge through horiza with countless new devices, metaphors and similies awaiting in our platoons! he is the cougar of innova-tion, the lion of spasmo and the giant of vision.

kyle foley, author of Lorelei Pursued and Wrestles with God
