The revised "Live Oak, with Moss" poems became "Calamus," Whitman's cluster of poems on "adhesive" and manly love, comradeship, and democracy, in Leaves of Grass . Commemorating both the first publication of the "Calamus" poems and the little-known manuscript of notebook poems out of which the "Calamus" cluster grew, Whitman scholar Betsy Erkkila brings together in a single edition for the first time the "Live Oak, with Moss" poems, the 1860 "Calamus" poems, and the final 1881 "Calamus" poems. In addition to honoring the sesquicentennial of the "Calamus" cluster, she celebrates the ongoing legacy of Whitman's songs of manly passion, sex, and love.
