Description
Walt Whitman's Complete Poems is a comprehensive collection of his work, featuring the final, or "deathbed," edition of Leaves of Grass, as well as earlier versions of many poems. This edition includes a new and fuller introduction discussing Whitman's poetic career, his influence on later American poets, and his impact on the American cultural sensibility. The collection spans Whitman's entire body of work, from the joyful "Song of Myself" and "I Sing the Body Electric" to the elegiac "When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloom'd". With this edition, readers can gain a deeper understanding of Whitman's art, which fuses oratory, journalism, and song in a vivid celebration of humanity. This edition is part of the National Geographic Books' collection of classic literature, featuring a chronology, updated suggestions for further reading, and extensive notes to enhance the reader's experience.
