Synopsis "Hojas de Hierba (in Spanish)"

A lo largo de la carrera de Whitman, se publicaron nueve ediciones de su obra poética, siempre titulada hojas de hierba. La primera, de 1855, ya contenía el célebre canto de mí mismo (no aún con ese título); a la última y canónica, de 1892, se le llama, del lecho de muerte porque trabajo sobre ella en sus días finales. Cada una incorporaba poemas nuevos, suprimía o corregía anteriores, iba agrupando en secciones variables. La audacia y la fuerza de la personalidad marcan su empresa poética: apertura sexual y política, peculiar y heterodoxo sincretismo religioso, innovador verso libre torrencialmente musical, apropiación de recursos tradicionales como las aliteraciones de cuño anglosajón o los catálogos y las palabras compuestas de cuño épico, creación de neologismos.

Walt Whitman (1819-1892) is, undoubtedly, the most influential poet in American literature. He was born in West Hills, Long Island, the second of nine children in a family close to the Quaker creed. At the age of eleven, he finished his formal education and began working as an apprentice at the weekly The Patriot, where he would start writing his first texts. After working for other newspapers and magazines, in 1850 he decided to fully dedicate himself to poetry. Five years later, the first edition of the famous Leaves of Grass was published, consisting of twelve poems and whose 795 copies were funded by the author himself. The poetry collection aroused great interest and was widely distributed, partly due to the fascination it sparked in philosopher Ralph Waldo Emerson. During the Civil War, Whitman voluntarily served as a nurse in Washington D.C., an experience he would capture in The Great Army of the Sick (1863) and Memories of the War (1875). After the conflict ended in 1965, he published Drum-Taps. While employed at the Attorney General's Office, Whitman continued to raise the pen to write verses like those of "O Captain! My Captain!", which, along with others, would complete the successive editions of Leaves of Grass up to the ninth and definitive, which consisted of a total of more than four hundred poems.
