Experience the energy and intrigue of Walt Whitman’s pioneering work, Leaves of Grass—widely regarded as the keystone work of a distinctly American poetry. Released in several iterations from 1855 to 1892, the small collection of poems grew from 12 to over 400. This collection pairs the anonymously published 1st edition—complete with Whitman’s original preface and some contemporary critical responses—with the last fully redesigned edition of 1881, providing a poetic picture of the great American poet in both his vigorous youth and increasingly contemplative old age.
