THE COMPLETE POEMS PB – WALT WHITMAN-FRANCIS MURPHY-FRANCIS MURPHY

"In 1855 Walt Whitman published Leaves of Grass, the work which defined him as one of America s most influential voices, and which he added to throughout his life. A collection of astonishing originality and intensity, it spoke of politics, sexual emancipation and what it meant to be an American. From the joyful Song of Myself and I Sing the Body Electric to the elegiac When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloom d , Whitman s art fuses oratory, journalism and song in a vivid celebration of humanity."
