Publisher Comments:

"Leaves of Grass" inaugurated a new voice, style, and optimistic, bombastic vision into American letters, one that took the nation itself as subject. Unlike many other editions of "Leaves of Grass", which reproduce various short early editions, our new "Deathbed" version presents everything Whitman wrote in its final form.

Synopsis:

This reprinting of the first edition of "Leaves of Grass" contains the original 12 poems and Whitman's introduction in which he states his poetic credo. It includes Malcolm Cowley's commentary, first published in 1959.
