Grashalme
Grashalme ist ein poetisches Großprojekt, in dem Walt Whitman das amerikanische Leben des 19. Jahrhunderts in freien, weit ausschwingenden Versen feiert und befragt. Der Band verbindet Körperlichkeit, Demokratie, Naturerfahrung, Arbeit, Sexualität und Spiritualität zu einer neuartigen lyrischen Form, die sich bewusst von europäischen metrischen Traditionen löst. In seinem prophetischen, katalogisierenden und zugleich intimen Ton steht das Werk am Beginn einer modernen amerikanischen Dichtung. Whitman, 1819 auf Long Island geboren, arbeitete als Setzer, Lehrer, Journalist und Krankenpfleger im Bürgerkrieg. Seine Nähe zu Druckereien, Großstadtstraßen, politischen Debatten und verwundeten Soldaten prägte seine Vorstellung einer umfassenden, egalitären Poesie. Grashalme wuchs über Jahrzehnte in mehreren Ausgaben; es ist daher weniger ein abgeschlossenes Buch als die lebenslange Selbst- und Weltvermessung eines Dichters. Empfohlen sei dieses Werk allen Leserinnen und Lesern, die Dichtung nicht als Dekoration, sondern als geistige Erkundung begreifen. Grashalme verlangt Offenheit für Pathos, Weite und Widerspruch, belohnt jedoch mit einer unverwechselbaren Stimme, die Freiheit, Gemeinschaft und das Ich bis heute neu denken lässt.
