Summary "Walt Whitman in Mickle Street" by Elizabeth Leavitt Keller is a biographical account written in the early 20th century. The book explores the later years of poet Walt Whitman's life and his domestic experiences in Camden, New Jersey, particularly focusing on the role of his housekeeper and companion, Mary Oakes Davis. This narrative sheds light on Whitman's character and the nature of his day-to-day existence as he navigates his declining health and continued literary ambitions. At the start of the text, Keller introduces Mary Oakes Davis, who played a significant part in Whitman's later life. The narrative reveals her background of selflessness and devotion, detailing her previous life experiences that culminated in her dedication to caring for Whitman during his illness. Keller describes their first meeting, highlighting the warmth of Davis’s invitation into her home when Whitman, in a vulnerable state, urgently sought comfort and companionship. The opening sets the stage for understanding the dynamics of their relationship, as well as the challenges and realities of life in the modest home at Mickle Street, against the backdrop of Whitman's continued pursuit of literary work despite his personal struggles.
