Leaves Of Grass

Walt Whitman's poetry collection, first published in 1855 and expanded over four decades to 400 poems, explores profound themes of life, humanity, and nature. Eschewing traditional rhyme and meter, Whitman develops a unique style that shines in works like "Song of Myself," where he celebrates individuality and the human experience. His verses encompass a wide range of topics, including social, political, and personal reflections, while highlighting the contrast between decay and renewal. His passionate writing captures the essence of America and the journey of self-discovery.
