From the introduction by Leslie A. Fiedler:
"Surely, one goal of any new selection from Whitman ought to be the redemption of that pristine poet, that ‘darkest beast,’ whom, in a world ever more genteel, we cannot afford to lose."

Fiedler argues that Whitman, known for his pioneering and sometimes controversial ideas, should be seen as a living poet rather than relegated to history. He compares Whitman's impact to that of Copernicus, Darwin, and Nietzsche, urging readers to rediscover the poet's relevance today.
