Walter Whitman blev f\u00f8dt ind i en arbejderfamilie i New York i 1819. Whitman m\u00e5tte som ganske ung droppe ud af skolen for at hj\u00e6lpe til med at fors\u00f8rge familien.
\nHan arbejdede siden som reporter og redakt\u00f8r p\u00e5 avisen Brooklyn Daily Eagle, men blev fyret grundet sine kritiske holdninger til slaveriet.<\/p>\n
Herefter begyndte han at eksperimentere med, hvordan poesi kunne anvendes som politisk udtryksform (1). Han skrev digtsamlingen, \u201dLeaves of Grass\u201d, som han redigerede og \u00e6ndrede helt frem til 1881. Den er i dag en vigtig milep\u00e6l i amerikansk litteraturhistorie (1).<\/p>\n
Da den amerikanske borgerkrig br\u00f8d ud i 1861, var Whitman 42 \u00e5r. Syd- og Nordstaterne bekrigede hinanden bl.a. pga. slavesp\u00f8rgsm\u00e5let.
\nWhitmans bror George var soldat. Da Walter opdagede, at George var s\u00e5ret, rejste han straks til Washington, hvor han blev og fungerede som sygehj\u00e6lper for de s\u00e5rede amerikanske soldater.<\/p>\n
Han hjalp de s\u00e5rede soldater med de basale grundl\u00e6ggende behov og med at skrive breve mm. Erfaringerne herfra inspirerede ham til at skrive bl.a. digtsamlingen:<\/p>\n
\u201dA Sequel to Drum-Taps\u201d (1865-66). I 1873 fik han en blodprop, der bet\u00f8d, at han frem til sin d\u00f8d i 1892 var immobil og helt afh\u00e6ngig af andre (1).<\/p>\n
Hans v\u00e6rdier om rummelighed og individualitet skinner igennem hans digte. I hans poetiske v\u00e6rk “Sang om mig selv” er der smukke ord: “Sang om mig selv” er den ikoniske amerikanske digter Walt Whitmans poetiske v\u00e6rk om demokrati, lighed og slavefrig\u00f8relsen og betragtes som\u00a0en af amerikansk litteraturhistories st\u00f8rste digtere, hvis poesi har inspireret kunstnere som Stephen King, Bob Dylan og Zadie Smith samt tv-serien Breaking Bad. Whitman modtog ingen litter\u00e6re priser mens han levede, men efter sin d\u00f8d er han blevet optaget i Hall of Fame for Great Americans.

\n“Modsiger jeg mig selv? -Jamen s\u00e5 modsiger jeg mig selv” “Jeg er kolossal, jeg rummer utallige”<\/em>(2).<\/p>\n
\nV\u00e6rket er fra tiden omkring den amerikanske borgerkrig og strutter af samtidens tanker om demokrati, lighed, individuel frihed og opg\u00f8ret med slaveriet.
\n“Sang om mig selv” er nyoversat i 2022 og gendigtet af Jakob Levinsen.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/sygeplejevidenskab.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Bog-Walt-Whiman.png?resize=182%2C300&quality=80&ssl=1\")
