Description

Walt Whitman's Leaves of Grass is a clarion call to his country's people to join together in the crowning growth of the United States. Its patriotic zeal made him a symbol of democracy in his country long before he achieved fame there as a poet. The intense emotion of Whitman's verse celebrates the regenerative power of nature and the immortal divinity of the human soul. His passionate beliefs are evident throughout this volume - in the radical I Sing the Body Electric; the patriotic I Hear America Singing; and the romantic As if a Phantom Caress'd Me. This collection (the so-called deathbed edition of 1892) represents the culmination of Whitman's life's work and contains more than 400 poems.
