In his unconventional verse, Walt Whitman spoke in a powerful, sensual, oratorical, and inspiring voice. His most famous work, Leaves of Grass, was a long-term project that the poet compared to the building of a cathedral or the slow growth of a tree. During his lifetime, from 1819 to 1892, it went through nine editions. Today it is regarded as a landmark of American literature.This volume contains 24 poems from Leaves of Grass, offering a generous sampling of Whitman’s best and most representative verses. Featured works include "I Hear America Singing, " "I Sing the Body Electric, " "Song of the Open Road, " "Out of Cradle Endlessly Rocking, " "When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloom’d, " and "O Captain! My Captain!"—all reprinted from an authoritative text.
