Walt Whitman's Leaves of Grass
Walt Whitman
This celebrated American poem broke new ground with its relaxed style and images of racial bonding and democratic togetherness. The first version of the historic volume is captured in this Anniversary Edition, including the unusual jacket and title page, exuberant preface, and twelve free-flowing, untitled poems. This must-have keepsake also includes an afterword discussing the 1855 edition in its social and cultural contexts and early responses to the volume.
