The lyrical poetry and prose of Whitman collected in this volume reveal his extraordinary perception of the world about him. Selections are from his much-praised Leaves of Grass, published in its sixth revised edition the year of his death, 1892, as well as from his several books of prose.
Walt Whitman ofter expressed his thoughts in the objects of nature, for which he had an intense love. "I will plant companionship thick as trees along all the rivers of America ..." he wrote, his words reflecting a great fascination with the American character.
Within the grand sweep of his vision appear dramatic close-ups of the seemingly minor moments of human emotion and experience that show us ourselves at our best, in daily life and family love.
The legacy from Walt Whitman is memorable - it is one full of joy, of hope, and of comradeship.
