After reading Walt Whitman s Leaves of Grass for the very first time, Anne Gilchrist immediately composed a letter to the author to express her delight in his poems and to thank him for their publication. From Whitman s reply was born an epistolary relationship between the two writers, the material of which is contained within this fascinating collection. Sure to appeal to those with an interest in the life of the great Walt Whitman, this compendium offers a unique insight into the personality of the seminal poet and, as such, constitutes a wonderful addition to any Whitman collection. Anne Gilchrist was an English writer most renowned for her connection to the great American poet Walt Whitman. Originally published in 1918, this scarce text is proudly republished here with a new introductory biography of the author."
