A firsthand account of one of the final years of Whitman’s life, With Walt Whitman in Camden is a near transcript of daily conversations between Whitman and Traubel. Traubel took copious notes of their conversations, and recorded hundreds of other details of the poet’s life, making this volume indispensable reading for any student of Whitman—as the poet asked the author to speak for him after his death.
Tentang Penulis
Horace Traubel (1858–1919) is best remembered for his extraordinary friendship with the poet Walt Whitman. Self-described as Whitman’s “spirit child, ” Traubel visited the poet almost daily from the mid-1880s until Whitman’s death in 1892. After Whitman’s death, Traubel founded, edited, and published The Conservator, a journal dedicated to keeping Whitman’s works alive. He is also the author of Chants Communal (1904) and other books.
