    "Scholars and biographers often mention Walt Whitman's short stint in New Orleans-three months in the spring of 1848-as a crucial moment of literary and personal development, with some of the author's most celebrated poems showing distinct influences of the city. Working for the local newspaper the Daily Crescent, the poet who was still seven years away from publishing the first edition of his Leaves of Grass would spend his afternoons, as he did in New York, strolling through the multiracial city to absorb and then write about his impressions. While Whitman's southern sojourn has become a core component of the narrative around the poet, his actual writings produced in the Crescent City have remained relatively obscure. Walt Whitman's New Orleans is the first book to collect his writings about the city, appearing more than 150 years after his trip south. Edited by Whitman expert Stefan Schöberlein, the volume builds on cutting-edge research that uncovers a previously unknown collection of short prose sketches that Whitman wrote for the Crescent after he left New Orleans. The result is a volume of humorous glimpses of city life steeped in the tropes and attitudes of the 1840s. These short pieces form a collage of impressions by a "pedestrian," as Whitman identifies himself in one piece, who provides interested readers with what he variously called "Peeps," "Sketches," or "Glimpses" culled from his visits to the French Quarter, the St. Louis Hotel, Lafayette Square, and other central locales. Organized around the complete run of a humorous series titled "Sketches of the Sidewalks and Levee," Walt Whitman's New Orleans pairs his writings with nineteenth-century illustrations that capture views of the city and caricatures of the characters that populate his prose renderings. The volume also offers new discoveries about the Crescent staff and contextual information about the social, political, and cultural currents circulating throughout antebellum New Orleans, including their impact on Whitman's own evolving beliefs"--

    Notes:

    Main description: When a poet addresses a living person--whether friend or enemy, lover or sister--we recognize the expression of intimacy. But what impels poets to leap across time and space to speak to invisible listeners, seeking an ideal intimacy--George Herbert with God, Walt Whitman with a reader in the future, John Ashbery with the Renaissance painter Francesco Parmigianino? In Invisible Listeners, Helen Vendler argues that such poets must invent the language that will enact, on the page, an intimacy they lack in life. Through brilliantly insightful and gracefully written readings of these three great poets over three different centuries, Vendler maps out their relationships with their chosen listeners. For his part, Herbert revises the usual "vertical" address to God in favor of a "horizontal" one-addressing God as a friend. Whitman hovers in a sometimes erotic, sometimes quasi-religious language in conceiving the democratic camerado, who will, following Whitman's example, find his true self. And yet the camerado will be replaced, in Whitman's verse, by the ultimate invisible listener, Death. Ashbery, seeking a fellow artist who believes that art always distorts what it represents, finds he must travel to the remote past. In tones both tender and skeptical he addresses Parmigianino, whose extraordinary self-portrait in a convex mirror furnishes the poet with both a theory and a precedent for his own inventions. By creating the forms and speech of ideal intimacy, these poets set forth the possibility of a more complete and satisfactory human interchange--an ethics of relation that is uncoerced, understanding, and free

    In influx & efflux Jane Bennett pursues a question that was bracketed in her book Vibrant Matter: how to think about human agency in a world teeming with powerful nonhuman influences? "Influx & efflux"-a phrase borrowed from Whitman's "Song of Myself"-refers to everyday movements whereby outside influences enter bodies, infuse and confuse their organization, and then exit, themselves having been transformed into something new. How to describe the human efforts involved in that process? What kinds of "I" and "we" can live well and act effectively in a world of so many other lively materialities? Drawing upon Whitman, Thoreau, Caillois, Whitehead, and other poetic writers, Bennett links a nonanthropocentric model of self to a radically egalitarian pluralism and also to a syntax and style of writing appropriate to the entangled world in which we live. The book tries to enact the uncanny process by which we "write up" influences that pervade, enable, and disrupt us

    In the midst of a crisis of democracy, we have much to learn from Walt Whitman's journey toward egalitarian selfhood. Walt Whitman knew a great deal about democracy that we don't. Most of that knowledge is concentrated in one stunning poem, Song of Myself. Esteemed cultural and literary thinker Mark Edmundson offers a bold reading of the 1855 poem, included here in its entirety. He finds in the poem the genesis and development of a democratic spirit, for the individual and the nation. Whitman broke from past literature that he saw as "feudal": obsessed with the noble and great. He wanted instead to celebrate the common and everyday. Song of Myself does this, setting the terms for democratic identity and culture in America. The work captures the drama of becoming an egalitarian individual, as the poet ascends to knowledge and happiness by confronting and overcoming the major obstacles to democratic selfhood. In the course of his journey, the poet addresses God and Jesus, body and soul, the love of kings, the fear of the poor, and the fear of death. The poet's consciousness enlarges; he can see more, comprehend more, and he has more to teach. In Edmundson's account, Whitman's great poem does not end with its last line. Seven years after the poem was published, Whitman went to work in hospitals, where he attended to the Civil War's wounded, sick, and dying. He thus became in life the democratic individual he had prophesied in art. Even now, that prophecy gives us words, thoughts, and feelings to feed the democratic spirit of self and nation

    "Proofs of Genius: Collected Editions from the American Revolution to the Digital Age is the first extensive study of the collected edition as an editorial genre within American literary history. Unlike editions of an author's "selected works" or thematic anthologies, which clearly indicate the presence of non-authorial editorial intervention, collected editions have typically been arranged to imply an unmediated documentary completeness. By design, the collected edition obscures its own role in shaping the cultural reception of the author. In Proofs of Genius, Amanda Gailey argues that decisions to re-edit major authorial corpora are acts of canon-formation in miniature that indicate more foundational shifts in the way a culture views its literature and itself. By combining a theoretically-informed approach with a broad historical view of collected editions from the late eighteenth century to the present (including the rise of digital editions), Gailey fills a gap in the textual scholarship of the editing history of major figures like Emily Dickinson and Walt Whitman and of the American literary canon itself"-- America collecting itself : national identity and intellectual property in the Early Republic -- Dickinson's remains -- Whitman's shrines -- Cold War editing and the rise of the "American literature industry" -- The death of the author has been greatly exaggerated
