How delicate Whitman’s poetry is, by James A. Wright:

“James A. Wright writes one of the finest articles in this volume, (Modern Critical Views), appropriately titled “The Delicacy of Walt Whitman” (BLOOM, 1985, pp.87-97). It is about the delicacy of Whitman’s poetry, which “has delicacy of music, diction, and of form,” with “powers of restraint, clarity, and wholeness, all of which taken together embody that deep spiritual inwardness” which is “the most beautiful power of Whitman’s poetry” (1985, p.87-8). The critic addresses Whitman’s knowledge of traditional metric and his developments from there with plenty of examples. This author is also mentioned in section 3.4 when we discuss parallelism of verse forms in the Leaves.”
