520 $a "The Architecture of Address" attempts to describe one mode of public poetry in America in the work of three poets, Walt Whitman, Hart Crane, and Robert Lowell---a public mode that builds on and approximates the principles of monumental architecture.
520 $a Whitman coalesces the mode in "Crossing Brooklyn Ferry," combining the basic features of nineteenth-century commemorative oratory, often used to dedicate monuments, and contemporaneous architectural organicism in his imagination of the ferry. From the dedicatory addresses of Daniel Webster and Edward Everett, Whitman adopts verbal patterns and argumentative strategies for making the monument the site of temporal and cultural confluence. For Whitman, the ferry is the perfect monumental site. Its effectiveness as a central site is underwritten by the anthropometric scheme nineteenth-century architecture places at the base of all design, a scheme that enables the relation of the one to the many that is at the core of the cultural confluence Whitman strives to instate.
520 $a Drawing on the strategies of "Crossing Brooklyn Ferry," Hart Crane creates a new monument in The Bridge. With imagistic and metaphorical strategies similar to Whitman's verbal manipulations, Crane condenses American history to the principle of stasis in motion, a principle imaged in his bridge, an example of motion in stasis. Thus Crane makes his bridge, and Brooklyn Bridge behind it, the center of American culture, a monumental site. The mode is employed again by Robert Lowell in "For the Union Dead" where the Boston Common, like Whitman's ferry and Crane's bridge, becomes a central site at which local and national cultures are re-examined.
520 $a Each poem achieves its publicity by imagining a public space in which readers, integers of the public, have a pre-existing investment, and by laying the conceptual space of the poem over the actual space, thereby placing it in the public's hands. This conceptual space, coextensive with the actual space, continually communicates its arguments to those using the space.
520 $a Despite their differences, these three poems participate in the same mode of publicity, one of several such modes in American poetry, but particularly important because it advances a democratic, American poetics.
