Original: “There is Nothing but Immortality!”: Walt Whitman and *The Book of Heavenly Death* (1905)
Walt Whitman compiled 'The Book of Heavenly Death,' a cluster of poems drawn from his 1881-82 work, which was first published as a standalone volume in 1905. The piece explores Whitman's meditation on mortality and his insistence that 'there is nothing but immortality,' tracing how death shaped his vision of the self's continuity beyond the grave.
