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.

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"

That one is not as helpful

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

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'
