In Walt Whitman of Cosmic Folklore, Alan Botsford has given us
something profound and necessary: a finely and perceptively wrought
affirmation of poetry's mysterious, primal, timeless, and transformative
powers. Himself a poet, Botsford reconsiders our 21st century existence
through Whitman's poetic consciousness-one that thought poetry to
something profound and necessary: a finely and perceptively wrought
affirmation of poetry's mysterious, primal, timeless, and transformative
powers. Himself a poet, Botsford reconsiders our 21st century existence
through Whitman's poetic consciousness-one that thought poetry to
be the direct issue of the body, the soul, the very earth and stars. In an
age of pervasive cynicism, the deification of technology, disconnection
from our bodies and the natural world, the overvaluing of intellect and
reason, and the politicization of art and literature in the academy,
Botsford's book is a crucial reminder that the best poetry puts us back
in touch with the spiritual ethos of Eros and a living connection to
the gods, without which we are not fully human.
