- Summary
- "This new collection is taken from the final version, the Deathbed edition, and it includes his most famous poems such as 'Song of Myself' and 'I Sing the Body Electric'. Edited and introduced by Professor Bridget Bennett. Leaves of Grass is Walt Whitman's glorious poetry collection which he revised and expanded throughout his lifetime. First published in 1855, it was ground breaking in its subject matter and in its direct, unembellished style. Whitman wrote about the United States and its people, its revolutionary spirit and about democracy. He wrote openly about the body and about desire in a way that completely broke with convention, paving the way for a completely new kind of poetry."--Publisher's description.
