My Own Songs: Selected Poems of Whitman was selected from the complete collection of Blades of Grass translated by Zhao Luorui. Zhao Luorui is a lover, researcher and translator of Whitman, and has been praised by American scholars as "China's most important Whitman translator". Whitman wrote in the text of the first edition of Blades of Grass: "Walter Whitman, an American, an old man, a universe. "As a poet, he extolled individuality, praised the masses, preached liberal democracy, and deserved to be a great exponent of the American spirit. His poems are raw, rugged, and individual; yet cosmic and all-encompassing. His influence on future generations extends far beyond nineteenth-century America to the contemporary world, and will always be groundbreaking. The poet spent his life working hard to complete the epoch-making masterpiece "Blades of Grass". It is a magnificent epic that freely, fully and authentically records the poet himself and his time, and shows the future of humanity. Western scholars point out that Whitman's poetry tends to be like speeches, Italian operas, and rough seas throughout. For the richness of it, the famous scholar Allen said: "Even if a person spends his life studying Whitman, he may not be able to study it thoroughly. ”
