Book Description
Abraham Lincoln read it with approval, but Emily Dickinson described its bold language and themes as 'disgraceful.' And Ralph Waldo Emerson found Leaves of Grass 'the most extraordinary piece of wit and wisdom that America has yet contributed,' calling it a 'combination of the Bhagavad Gita and the New York Herald.' Published at the author's own expense on July 4, 1855, Leaves of Grass initially consisted of a preface, twelve untitled poems in free verse (including the work later titled 'Song of Myself' which Malcolm Cowley called 'one of the great poems of modern times'), and a now-famous portrait of a devil-may-care Walt Whitman in a workman's shirt. Over the next four decades, Whitman continually expanded and revised the book as he took on the role of a workingman's bard who championed American nationalism, political democracy, contemporary progress, and unashamed sex. This volume, which contains 383 poems, is the final 'Deathbed Edition' published in 1892.

Book Description
The poetry of Whitman as a whole was one of the most determined and consistent efforts to achieve the daunting level of the poor and the least arduous of laughable: that Whitman has managed this is not one of the hilar mysteries of literature; and so he had to settle for being a great poet. The soul of Whitman is par excellence an invisible place, unaware of ideas, with no name; something which one can only address through spells. First, invisibility, anonymity polymorph: "The agonies are one of my disguises".
