Not just because the poem begins with the famous incantation "I celebrate myself, and sing myself", but because its very purpose is the celebration of a personal and collective identity. He celebrates a nation, a universe, nature, sex, human bonds, love, pride. He celebrates himself as Walt Whitman, but also as an epitome of a human being, and an epitome of a new American spirit.
