In Walt Whitman, Michael Cunningham sees a poet whose vision of humanity is ecstatic, democratic, and sensuous. Just over a hundred years ago, Whitman celebrated America as it survived the Civil War, as it endured great poverty, and as it entered the Industrial Revolution, which would make it the most powerful nation on Earth. In Specimen Days Michael Cunningham makes Whitman's verse sing across time, and in Laws for Creations he celebrates what Whitman means to him, and how he appeared at the heart of his new novel.Just as the Pulitzer Prize-winning The Hours drew on the life and work of English novelist Viriginia Woolf, Specimen Days lovingly features the work of American poet Walt Whitman. Bringing together extracts from Whitman's prodigious writings, including Leaves of Grass and his journal, Specimen Days, Michael Cunningham's Laws for Creations provides an introduction to one of America's greatest visionary poets from one of our greatest contemporary novelists.

O Captain! my Captain! our fearful trip is done! The ship has weathered every wrack, the prize we sought is won. The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting, While follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring.

"De sovende" er et af digtene fra den første udgave af Walt Whitmans digtsamling, "Leaves of Grass" fra 1855. Digtet er skrevet i en fri from, hvor lister og anekdoter er løst arrangerede i en ikke-hierarkisk forløb. Fortælleren bringer os fra første strofe ind i en fælles, søvnens verden. Dette bringer forståelse mellem gamle og unge, pionerer og indfødte amerikanere, slaver og herrer. Dette potentiale for sympati flyder gennem digtet,, der på en tilgængelig vis når mytiske dybder.

Sangen om mig selv er Walt Whitmans mest kendte og roste digt. Jeg-fortælleren er en iagttager, der liggende i græsset kommenterer mennesker, naturen, universet og religion. Græsset er både en kærlig ramme om narrativet og et håbefuldt billede på demokratiet. Whitman skrev på en revolutionerende måde om små og store spørgsmål, og fra et karakteristisk amerikansk synspunkt. I dette værk drages læseren af en tilgængelighed og optimisme, der som den sommerdag, hvor digtet begynder, tegner et lyst billede af et menneskes eksistens og tanker.Walt Whitman var en amerikansk poet, journalist og essayforfatter, som udgav sin første digtsamling i 1855, hvori Sangen om mig selv først så dagens lys.
