Part of the Macmillan Collector’s Library; a series of stunning, clothbound, pocket sized classics with gold foiled edges and ribbon markers. These beautiful books make perfect gifts or a treat for any book lover. This edition is edited and introduced by Professor Bridget Bennett. Whitman wrote about the United States and its people, its revolutionary spirit and about democracy.

This new collection is taken from the final version, the Deathbed edition, and it includes his most famous poems such as ‘Song of Myself’ and ‘I Sing the Body Electric’.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pulitzer Prize–winning poet C. K. Williams's personal reflection on the art of Walt Whitman In this book, Pulitzer Prize–winning poet C. K. Williams sets aside the mass of biography and literary criticism that has accumulated around Walt Whitman and attempts to go back to Leaves of Grass as he first encountered it—to explore why Whitman's epic "continues to inspire and sometimes daunt" him. The result is a personal reassessment and appreciation of one master poet by another, as well as an unconventional and brilliant introduction to Whitman. Beautifully written and rich with insight, this is a book that refreshes our ability to see Whitman in all his power.

Book excerpt: Walt Whitman, an American poet, essayist, and journalist, wrote of his own work that it was -an attempt to put a person, a human being (myself, in the latter half of the nineteenth century, in America) freely, fully, and truly on record.- Whitman was a humanist, combining both the perspectives of transcendentalism and realism into his poetry. Much of his work focuses on democracy, equality, and brotherhood. Additionally, Whitman's poetry is infused with spirituality, which he believed was strongly influenced by physical contact, lending hints of eroticism throughout Leaves of Grass. The first edition of this classic collection of poetry appeared in 1855 and was written as an attempt to reach the common man with an American epic. Due to constant critical attention from poet John Greenleaf Whittier, author and abolitionist Thomas Wentworth Higginson, poet and critic Rufus Wilmot Griswold, Boston district attorney Oliver Stevens, and writer and critic William Michael Rossetti, Whitman continuously expanded and revised the work until his death in 1892. Here, Leaves of Grass is presented in two volumes of Whitman's signature free-verse poetry celebrating America, nature, the common man, and spirituality. Volume 1 includes one of his most-loved poems, -Song of Myself, - which is revered for representing Whitman's larger poetic vision. Volume 2 begins with -Drum-Taps, - a chronicle of the bloody American Civil War, which had a lasting influence on Whitman's life and work. These two volumes are integral to poetry libraries and will be enjoyed by those who love poetry and Americana.
