A collectible new Penguin Classics series: stunning, clothbound
editions of ten favourite poets, which present each poet's most
famous book of verse as it was originally published. Designed by
the acclaimed Coralie Bickford-Smith and beautifully set, these
slim, A format volumes are the ultimate gift for poetry lovers. In
1855 Walt Whitman published his first collection of poetry, Leaves
of Grass. The volume received great praise from leading
Transcendentalist poet Ralph Waldo Emerson. This encouraged what
would become a lifelong project as Whitman expanded and rewrote the
volume until his death in 1892. Whitman's innovative use of free
verse and the quotidian achieved his aim of reaching out to the
everyday American. This edition, based on the earliest published
version of 1855, features Whitman's most famous poem 'Song of
Myself', an American epic inspired by his personal experiences.
