Product information
Whitman is largely considered the father of American poetry, characterised by experimentation, innovation and a conception of a new poetic space that was completely innovative for its time. Free verses, without a fixed number of syllables, which lead to reading and exploring a new rhythm of language, one that is true, honest and musical. As vast as a journey from one side of the United States to the other
So, a couple of months ago, I started reading and researching and discovered that Whitman (1819-1892) left school at just 11 years of age to work as a typographer… he obviously needed to end up under my press.
Here’s an excerpt from “Song of Myself”, originally published in the poetry collection “Leaves of Grass”, in 1855: Failing to fetch me at first keep encouraged, missing me one place search another, I stop somewhere waiting for you
Typographic composition made with characters in wood (coming from Altamura, Lecce) and lead (including a fabulous Bodoni, coming straight from Sesto San Giovanni, Milan).
