This antiquarian book contains a selection of poetry taken from Walt Whitman's 'Poetry and Prose'. It contains the first and "deathbed" editions of 'Leaves of Grass' together with a fantastic selection of Whitman's prose. This wonderful collection is highly recommended for all lovers of poetry, and will be of special interest to fans and collectors of Whitman's seminal work. Walter "Walt" Whitman (1819 - 1892), was a celebrated American poet, essayist and journalist. He was one of the most influential poets in American literature, and is often referred to as the father of free verse. His writings were extremely controversial in his time, a statement that is especially true for his poetry collection 'Leaves of Grass'; considered to be obscenely sexual when first published. We are republishing this vintage book now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition - complete with a specially commissioned new biography of the author.
Walt Whitman
Walt Whitman was an American poet, essayist, and journalist, best known for his groundbreaking work Leaves of Grass, which changed the landscape of American poetry. Whitman is often regarded as one of the most important figures in American literature, particularly for his innovation in poetry and his bold celebration of individuality, democracy, and the human experience. His work, which challenged conventional forms and embraced free verse, has had a lasting influence on poetry and the development of American literary identity.
