Summary:
"Effortlessly blending biography, criticism, and memoir, National Book Award-winning poet and best-selling memoirist Mark Doty explores his personal quest for
Walt
Whitman
. Mark Doty has always felt haunted by
Walt
Whitman
's bold, new American voice, and by his equally radical claims about body and soul and what it means to be a self. In What Is the Grass, Doty - a poet, a lover of men, a New Yorker, and an American - keeps company with
Whitman
and his mutable, landmark work, Leaves of Grass, tracing the resonances between his own experience and the legendary poet's
life
and work. What is it, then, between us?
Whitman
asks. Doty's answer is to explore spaces tied to
Whitman
's
life
and spaces where he finds the poet's ghost, meditating on desire, love, and the mysterious wellsprings of the poet's enduring work: a radical experience of transformation and enlightement, queer sexuality, and an obsession with death, as well as unabashed love for a great city and for the fresh, rowdy character of American speech."--From publisher.
