Mention
Reynolds refers to the "Live Oak with Moss" sequence of poems that Whitman wrote during the late 1850s, a sequence that would form the core of the much longer "Calamus" cluster in the 1860 edition of Leaves of Grass. Reynolds says that the sequence "describes the joys and pains of an intense but ill-fated relationship with a man" (16).
