Whitman's Fourth Known Self-Review of Leaves of Grass (1855)
No full textUnknown to scholars of Whitman, a fourth self-review of Whitman's first edition Leaves of Grass has been hiding in newsprint since 1855. This short piece, published in August 1855, not only provides another early glimpse of Whitman’s views of his own poetry and its need for public curation, but also hints at previously unknown journalistic writing or editorial work Whitman may have produced during this period. This self-review, titled “A Poet Showing the New York Muscle,” made its original appearance in the New York Sunday Dispatch, a literary weekly, for August 26, 1855, page 4. It is reprinted here for the first time since 1855, and finally under the poet’s own name

Fellowship Dinners and The Armory Show
Full text linkThis essay contextualizes and analyzes two previously unrecorded letters from the artist Robert Henri to Horace Traubel. Dating to 1909 and 1913, they broaden what is known about Henri’s relationship with both Whitman and Traubel’s Whitman Fellowship, as well as Traubel’s response to modern art. Building on the work of Ruth Bohan, this essay forwards new insights into Henri’s relationship with Traubel and expands our understanding of Whitman’s influence on Henri’s teaching. Henri was devoted to Whitman. Knowing this, Horace Traubel hoped to bring Henri further into the fellowship Dinners, but this essay finds Henri repeatedly declined to attend and speak and used his classroom instead as the outlet for his Whitman lectures
