An impressive assembly of prose and poems from the first truly American poet.

When Walt Whitman self-published 'Leaves of Grass' in 1855 it was a slim volume of twelve poems and he was a journalist and poet from Long Island, little-known but full of ambition and poetic fire. To give a new voice to the new nation shaken by civil war, he spent his entire life revising and adding to the works, but his initial act of bravado in answering Ralph Waldo Emerson's call for a national poet has made Whitman the quintessential American writer. This rich cross-section of his work includes poems from throughout Whitman's lifetime as published on his deathbed edition of 1891, short stories, his prefaces to the many editions of 'Leaves of Grass', and a variety of prose selections, including 'Democratic Vistas', 'Specimen Days', and 'Slang in America'.
