More about the book

Celebrating life and humanity, this poetry collection features loosely connected poems that express a delight in sensual pleasures, defying the moral constraints of its time. Influenced by Emerson and Transcendentalism, the work praises nature and the individual's connection to it. Initially controversial for its explicit imagery, the collection faced criticism but has since become a cornerstone of American poetry, deeply impacting popular culture and literary discourse.
