"Song of Myself" is a poem written by the American poet, essayist, and journalist Walt Whitman, which was included in the poetry collection of this author called “Leaves of Grass”, published in 1855.
This poem qualified as the one that "representing the core of Whitman’s poetic vision", seems to have as epic theme human sexuality. Reason why social conservatives in Boston denounced it for breaking accepted norms of morality and violating the state’s obscenity laws, demanding that changes in several passages of this poem.
