Leaves of Grass

More about the book

Celebrating the sensual pleasures of life, this collection of poetry marks a significant departure from traditional poetic forms that often relied on symbolism and spirituality. Walt Whitman expanded "Leaves of Grass" throughout his life, evolving from a modest twelve poems to a comprehensive final edition of over 400. Initially controversial, it has since gained recognition as a cornerstone of American literature. This edition features premium acid-free paper and includes an introduction by John Burroughs, highlighting its enduring impact and significance.
