Walt Whitman's Song of the Open Road, from his seminal work Leaves of Grass, is a celebration of freedom and the joy of journeying.In Whitman's classic poem, the road becomes a metaphor for life's journey, full of possibilities, adventures, and the promise of personal discovery. Song of the Open Road encapsulates the essence of American transcendentalism, advocating for self-reliance and a profound connection with nature. Whitman's language and verse mirrors the free spirit of the open road, where societal constraints dissolve and the individual becomes one with the world."To know the universe itself as a road, as many roads, as roads for traveling souls."--Walt Whitman

Walt Whitman : ce poète et humaniste fut à l'origine des plus grandes pages de poésie des temps modernes. Elles eurent pour créateur un solitaire américain poussé comme un gratte-ciel dans un désert inculte de maisons à bas étages. Whitman est considéré comme un des deux piliers de la poésie américaine du XIXe siècle, avec Emily Dickinson. Sa voix résolument américaine suscite des émotions vives grâce au vers libre et à la force hypnotique de la répétition ; il clame sensualité et liberté dans une langue populaire, et chaque poème est une leçon de vie, un incontournable de la poésie telle qu'on ne l'apprend pas à l'école.

Resist much, obey littleThe Complete PoemsA work in progress through over four decades, Leaves of Grass contains poetry that spans the human element from the perspective of both the mind and the body. Many 19th century critics derided Whitman's poetry and during this time Leaves of Grass was considered controversial. From the year of its first publication in 1855 where only 12 poems were included, Whitman added more poetry to his collection until he published the final version of over 400 poems weeks before he died in 1892. Since Whitman's death, Leaves of Grass has been elevated as one of the most important American pieces of poetry, and to this day, many groups and movements have used Whitman's work as a means to further social and political change.

Contained herein is a vast collection of Whitman's writing, including vignettes from his childhood, a series of powerful accounts of his work in hospitals during the Civil war, and a large amount of nature writing. Composed in 1881 primarily from sketches, notes, and essays written at various stages of the poet's life from the Civil War onwards, Specimen Days is the closest thing Whitman ever published to a traditional autobiography. A wonderful insight into the mind of America's most famous poet, this rare classic will appeal to any collector of Whitman's work and is well deserving of its place atop any bookshelf.

Leaves of Grass is a collection of poems written by Walt Whitman, first published in 1855 and expanded over the course of his lifetime. The 1884 edition includes over 400 poems and is considered the ""deathbed"" edition, as it was the final version of the book published during Whitman's lifetime. The poems in Leaves of Grass are known for their celebration of nature, democracy, individualism, and the human body. They also explore themes of love, death, spirituality, and the American experience. Whitman's free verse style and use of unconventional language and imagery were groundbreaking for their time and have had a lasting impact on American poetry. The book has been praised for its optimism, inclusivity, and celebration of the human spirit, and has been criticized for its frank depictions of sexuality and its unconventional style. Leaves of Grass remains a landmark work in American literature and a testament to Whitman's vision of a democratic, egalitarian society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
