Walt Whitman's "There Was a Child Went Forth": The Image of "Edges" in the Origins of Life
Abstract
Offers a reading of "There Was a Child Went Forth" emphasizing how Whitman's poems reconcile images of edges into the "central edge" of the poem's "shore mud," a gesture that conveys edges as representative of "the origins of life."
