Description
Walt Whitman's poetry is a defining voice of America, capturing the nation's unique vitality and the vastness of its land. This collection of verse reflects a sometimes troubled consciousness, communicated in language that was considered shocking at the time. Whitman's poems are organic and free-flowing, combining autobiographical, sociological, and religious themes with lyrical sensuality. The poems included in this volume are a celebration of the American experience, with works such as 'Song of Myself', 'Crossing Brooklyn Ferry', and the elegy 'When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloom'd'. This revised edition of Whitman's works provides a comprehensive introduction to his poetry, making it an ideal choice for readers looking to explore the unique voice of American literature. With an introduction and bibliography by Stephen Matterson, this edition offers a nuanced understanding of Whitman's life and work, providing a solid foundation for readers to engage with his poetry.
