What reading level is Walt Whitman's Poetry, a Study & a Selection book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
As Whitman sees the whole of Humanity in each individual man, so he sees the whole of Nature in each individual thing ; and he seriously believes that in crowd- ing his pages with lists of material things he is representing Reality in all its splendour and beauty. The form of his poetry has to adapt itself to this conception of Nature and of Art. I have elsewhere pointed out that if he is to give 48 utterance to all the feelings that reveal them- selves in the fierce light of his extreme self- ...consciousness, if he is to pour them all out as he feels or seems to feel them, he must free himself from the trammels of rhyme and metre. There is another reason, as we can now see, why he should discard all conventional restrictions. If poetry is to be used for purposes which are frankly, and even grossly, prosaic, its outward form must be able and ready to sink, at a moment's notice, to the level of ordinary prose.
Whitman's "recitative" admirably fulfils this requirement. At its best it is singularly impressive.
