Reseña: 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 Whitmans 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 Bloomd and O Captain! My Captain! -- all reprinted from an authoritative text.
