Absorbing as biography, invaluable as reference, this latest volume in the distinguished series that began publication in 1906continues Traubel's minute, detailed, day-by-day account of America's greatest poet. William White, editor of theWalt Whit­man Reviewand coeditor ofThe Collected Writings of Walt Whitman,assumed the editorial chores when Gertrude Traubel was un­able to continue the project. Traubel wrote of the work that had absorbed so much of her life: "Vitality, contemporaneitythese Whitman characteris­ticsbring him to you not just an old man reliving a memora­ble career, butlike most seerslooking at events before him with flashes of prophetic insight." Volume 6presents the period from September 15, 1889, to July 6,1890,with virtual transcripts of the conversations of Whitman with Traubel. Whitman's thoughts and opinions, reminiscences, his goings and comings, letters he received and wrote, and hundreds of other matters as well as important de­tails of his life in his home on Mickle Street in Camden.
