Walt Whitman’s Poetry Some Approaches

Anaphora: the repetition of the same word or words across successive phrases, clauses, or sentences. From “Song of Myself,” section 6: It may be you transpire from the breasts of young men, It may be if I had known them I would have loved them, It may be you are from old people, or from offspring taken soon out of their mothers’ laps. From “Song of Myself,” section 15: And these tend inward to me, and I tend outward to them, And such as it is to be of these more or less I am, And of these one and all I weave the song of myself.

Apostrophe: an address to someone or something not present “O Captain! My Captain!” From “Song of Myself,” section 51: Listener up there! What have you to confide in me? From “To The States”: Resist much, obey little… “To You”: Stranger, if you passing meet me and desire to speak to me, why should you not speak to me? And why should I not speak to you?

Turnaround Lines From “Poet To Come”: I am a man who, sauntering along without fully stopping, turns a casual look upon you and then averts his face… (That’s all one line of verse, but it does not fit in the margins.)

Free Verse: poetry of varying line lengths and no set meter or rhyme Almost all of Walt Whitman’s poetry!
