LEAVES OF GRASS
BY WALT WHITMAN
 
E-BOOK

Leaves of Grass is a poetry collection by the American poet Walt Whitman (1819–1892). 

Though the first edition was published in 1855,
Whitman spent his entire life writing and re-writing Leaves of Grass, 
revising it in several editions until his death.
This resulted in vastly different editions over four decades—the first a small book of twelve poems and the last a compilation of over 400 poems.

The poems of Leaves of Grass are loosely connected and each represents Whitman's celebration of his philosophy of life and humanity. 

This book is notable for its discussion of delight in sensual pleasures during a time
when such candid displays were considered immoral.

Where much previous poetry, especially English, relied on symbolism, allegory
and meditation on the religious and spiritual,
Leaves of Grass (particularly the first edition) exalted the body and the material world.

Influenced by Ralph Waldo Emerson and the Transcendentalist movement,
itself an offshoot of Romanticism,
Whitman's poetry praises nature and the individual human's role in it.

However, much like Emerson,
Whitman does not diminish the role of the mind or the spirit;
rather, he elevates the human form and the human mind,
deeming both worthy of poetic praise.


With one exception, the poems do not rhyme or follow standard rules for meter and line length.
