Calamus is a collection of letters written by Walt Whitman between the years 1868 and 1880. The letters are addressed to various individuals, including friends, family members, and literary figures. The collection is named after the Calamus plant, which is a symbol of male love and friendship in Whitman's poetry. The letters cover a wide range of topics, including Whitman's personal life, his health, his travels, and his literary work. They also provide insights into Whitman's philosophy and his views on politics, religion, and society. Throughout the letters, Whitman's writing style is characterized by his signature free verse and his use of unconventional punctuation and capitalization. The letters are intimate and personal, and they offer a unique glimpse into the life and mind of one of America's most celebrated poets. Overall, Calamus is a must-read for fans of Walt Whitman and anyone interested in American literature and culture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
