«La extensión de mi cuerpo» is Walt Whitman's poetry anthology, published by Nórdica Libros in paperback (128 pages, bilingual Spanish/English).
Anthology of twenty-six poems taken from Walt Whitman's «Canto de mí mismo», a long poem celebrating the body, identity, and the individual's union with nature. The selection traces Whitman's vitalist and expansive voice, which sings the personal as universal and turns intimate experience into a song to life and humanity.
Translation by Antonio Rivero Taravillo, illustrations by Kike de la Rubia, and introduction by Juan Marqués.
Aimed at the general public interested in classic North American poetry and in editions with outstanding graphic work.
Walter Whitman Jr. was an American poet, essayist, and journalist; he also wrote two novels. He is considered one of the most influential poets in American literature and world literature. Whitman incorporated both transcendentalism and realism in his writings and is often called the father of free verse. His work was controversial in his time, particularly his 1855 poetry collection Leaves of Grass, which was described by some as obscene for its overt sensuality.
