This paper analyzes three of Walt Whitman's poems and parallels them to various crises he experienced in his personal life. The poems analyzed are "When Lilacs Last in Dooryard Bloom'd;" "O Living Always, Always Dying"and "Calamus-Leaves."
From the Paper:
"Walt Whitman was a revolutionary poet of his time in terms of the free-verse style of his poetry and the fundamental yet sensitive issues he chose to elaborate. Like all poets his works can be seen to evolve and mirror various facets of his character and experiences in life. Whitman's life was a rich mixture of traditional values and free-spirited ideas. His impassioned belief in democracy and nationalistic feeling were driving forces in his life. His love of nature and both the human body and spirit are depicted in his verse. (Kaplan 1980)"
