Content:
An early notebook with several notes for poem ideas, trial lines,
addresses, and drawings. Material in this
notebook relates to poems ultimately titled "Out of the Cradle
Endlessly Rocking," "By Blue
Ontario's Shore," "The City Dead-House," and "Chanting the Square Deific." Some of the trial verses in this notebook were
published posthumously as "[I Stand and
Look],"
"Ship of Libertad," and "Of My Poems." Within the notebook is
also a poem draft that Whitman has titled called "The Incomplete."
