Walt Whitman's Songs of Male Intimacy and Love

Commemorating both the first publication of the Calamus poems and the little-known manuscript of notebook poems out of which the Calamus cluster grew, Whitman scholar Betsy Erkkila brings together in a single edition for the first time facsimiles of the Live Oak, with Moss poems, the 1860 Calamus poems, and the final 1881 Calamus poems.
