Walt Whitman

Famously written in free verse and brimming with sensuous imagery and an unbridled love of nature, and containing celebrated poems such as the ebullient Song of Myself – described by Jay Parini as the greatest American poem ever written – and the elegiac When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloom’d, Leaves of Grass is not only the finest achievement of a highly unique poet, but a founding text for American literature and modern poetry.

First published in 1855 and extended by the author over more than three decades, Leaves of Grass embodies Walt Whitman’s lifetime ambition to create a new voice that could capture the spirit and vibrancy of the young American nation, while celebrating Nature without check with original energy.

Leaves of Grass by Walt Whitman is a groundbreaking collection of poetry that celebrates the human spirit, democracy, and nature. First published in 1855, it has since been revised and expanded by the author throughout his life, becoming one of the most influential works in American literature.

Whitman’s Leaves of Grass breaks away from traditional poetic forms, embracing free verse and a bold new style that captures the essence of individuality and freedom. The poems exalt the body and soul, emphasizing the unity of mankind and the profound connection between humanity and the natural world.

At the heart of this work lies Whitman’s vision of democracy, equality, and self-expression. His verses portray the diversity of American life, the dignity of common people, and the interconnectedness of all beings. Through sensual imagery and philosophical reflection, Whitman redefines poetry as a celebration of life in its totality.

Over the decades, Leaves of Grass has inspired writers, thinkers, and revolutionaries, and continues to resonate with readers worldwide. It is more than just a poetic masterpiece – it is a literary manifesto for freedom, authenticity, and the boundless potential of the human experience.
