«Canto a mí mismo» is Walt Whitman's free-verse poem, published by Edimat Libros in paperback (128 pages, in Spanish).
Canto a mí mismo is a poem from Leaves of Grass that celebrates the body, life and death, and recognizes every human being as part of a single energy. Written without rhyme and outside traditional meter, it scandalized its era and is now considered a landmark of modern poetry; it exudes joy in living and universal comradeship.
It corresponds to number 28 of the Clásicos de la literatura universal collection; the edition offers the complete text with an introduction by Enrique López Castellón.
For readers of classic poetry, students and collectors of the Clásicos de la literatura universal collection.
Walter Whitman Jr. was an American poet, essayist, and journalist; he also wrote two novels. He is considered one of the most influential poets in American literature and world literature. Whitman incorporated both transcendentalism and realism in his writings and is often called the father of free verse. His work was controversial in his time, particularly his 1855 poetry collection Leaves of Grass, which was described by some as obscene for its overt sensuality.
