Publisher Description

Leaves of Grass is a poetry collection by the American poet Walt Whitman (1819–1892). Though the first edition was published in 1855, Whitman spent his entire life writing Leaves of Grass, revising it in several editions until his death. Among the poems in the collection are "Song of Myself", "I Sing the Body Electric", "Out of the Cradle Endlessly Rocking", and in later editions, Whitman's elegy to the assassinated President Abraham Lincoln, "When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloom'd".

    Not my thing

    Rarely were these touching. It more so felt like someone musing about random observations. And more power to you if u wanna do that but it really doesn’t hold the same value to me as something like Tolstoy or Austen that reads like it was crafted with intent.
