Publisher's Synopsis

Calamus: A Series Of Letters Written During The Years 1868-1880 is a collection of letters written by the renowned American poet, Walt Whitman. The letters were written to a number of Whitman's friends and acquaintances, and cover a wide range of topics, including politics, literature, and personal relationships. The title of the book refers to a series of poems that Whitman wrote, which were inspired by the calamus plant. The letters in the book offer a unique insight into the life and mind of one of America's greatest poets, and provide a fascinating glimpse into the cultural, political, and social landscape of the late 19th century. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in American literature, poetry, or history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
