Anyone have any thoughts on Whitman poems that deal with:
> failure of language
> language as a representation
> Language being unable to fully capture the "real"
> authentic vs aesthetic

Doing a school thing and would love some ideas on which poem would be most fruitful in regards to this

Don't know much Whitman, but When I Heard the Learn'd Astronomer would be worth checking out for that.
>>
>>8817847
Love it

>>8817847
Actually that's perfect

Check out the children of adam poems where he rhapsodizes about tearing up virgin pussy and giving some bitch a creampie. Then talk about how whitman shows us how condoms prevent us from being able to capture the "real"
>>
>>8817976
That one is not as helpful
>>
>>8817830

Well unfortunately there are only whitman poems about:

>I am the mountains and grass and they jizz upon me and I on them
>we sing and play of the jizz until many male swimmers are swimming in it while jizzing on me
>i am manhattan as long as manhattan is jizzed on, without jizz i am merely a wanderer
>sleepers wait for my jizz, but not for long

No discernable talent
>>
I think Leaves of Grass probably deals with some of this
>>
>>8819308
Bloom is gay for Whitman your pseudo hack.
>>
In leaves of grass the bit with beautiful uncut hair of graves, i think it's part 6, for 'language being unable to capture the real'
>>
>>8819308
>un-American detected

Fuck off, Frenchie.
