Leaves of Grass
Enjoy Walt Whitman's classic poetry collection, Leaves of Grass, in this beautiful gift format with printed page edges.Walt Whitman's Leaves of Grass is a clarion call to his country's people to join together in the "crowning growth of the United States". Its patriotic zeal made him a symbol of democracy in his country long before he achieved fame there as a poet.The intense emotion of Whitman's verse celebrates the regenerative power of nature and the immortal divinity of the human soul. His passionate beliefs are evident throughout this volume - in the radical "I Sing the Body Electric"; the patriotic "I Hear America Singing"; and the romantic "As if a Phantom Caress'd Me".This collection (the so-called "deathbed" edition of 1892) represents the culmination of Whitman's life's work and contains more than 400 poems.

Specimen Days
Walt Whitman was born in West Hills, Long Island, on May 31, 1819. He was the son of a radical freethinking carpenter and a devout homemaker who imbued his son with a profound reverence for the American spirit. Before embarking on his career as a poet, Whitman worked as a schoolteacher, builder, journalist, fiction writer, and printer. In 1846, he became editor of the Brooklyn Eagle, one of the numerous positions he held in publishing during his life. Throughout the Civil War, Whitman worked as a government clerk and also volunteered in field hospitals where he tended to both Union and Confederate soldiers. After the war, Whitman’s standing as a poet grew continuously. In 1873 he took up permanent residence with his brother in Camden, New Jersey, where he famously spent the rest of his days, welcoming the many pilgrims who came to see the Old Gray Poet. He died on March 26, 1892. Whitman’s life is a “rags to riches” story for the literary ages: a journeyman writer and editor with only an elementary-school education, he is now regarded as the godfather of American poetry.

Franklin Evans
Franklin Evans, 1842 anonym bzw. unter Whitmans Namen in der New Yorker Presse erschienen, ist ein frühes Prosawerk, das den Weg eines jungen Mannes vom ländlichen Milieu in die Versuchungen der Stadt verfolgt. Als Temperenzroman verbindet es melodramatische Handlung, moralische Exempelstruktur und journalistische Direktheit: Alkohol, soziale Verführung, familiärer Zerfall und Reue werden in einer populären Form verhandelt, die zugleich an Reformliteratur und urbanes Sensationsnarrativ anschließt. Walt Whitman, später als Erneuerer der amerikanischen Lyrik durch Leaves of Grass berühmt, war zur Entstehungszeit ein junger Drucker, Journalist und Herausgeber, der den Geschmack eines breiten Lesepublikums genau kannte. Die Abstinenzbewegung, die moralischen Debatten der 1840er Jahre und Whitmans eigene Nähe zu Zeitungsprosa und demokratischer Alltagsbeobachtung prägten dieses Buch. Auch wenn er es später gering schätzte, zeigt Franklin Evans wichtige Vorstufen seines Interesses an Körper, Stadt, Arbeit, sozialer Gefährdung und öffentlicher Stimme. Empfohlen sei dieses Werk nicht nur Whitman-Spezialisten, sondern allen Lesern, die amerikanische Literatur vor ihrem kanonischen Durchbruch verstehen wollen. Franklin Evans ist literarisch uneben, doch gerade darin aufschlussreich: ein Dokument populärer Moralästhetik, urbaner Moderne und der frühen Werkstatt eines Autors, der die amerikanische Sprache später grundlegend verändern sollte.

Leaves of Grass
Ralph Waldo Emerson found Leaves of Grass to be "the most extraordinary piece of wit and wisdom that America has yet produced." This "Death-Bed" edition by American publisher Yellow Leaf Press is the final version of Leaves of Grass. First published in 1892, Whitman's Leaves of Grass remains one of the greatest books in American literature and among the most popular poetry books in the world.To poet Ezra Pound, Whitman was "America's poet... He is America." Inspiring both youth and older generations while also being ridiculed at the time for being explicit in language and subject matter, Leaves of Grass remains a true representation of the raw American spirit that lives to this day in the United States. According to the Poetry Foundation, Whitman is "America's world poet-a latter-day successor to Homer, Virgil, Dante, and Shakespeare."This "Death-Bed" edition by Yellow Leaf Press also adds a biography and historical context about Whitman's compiling of Leaves of Grass over his lifetime.Note: This edition is unabridged and uncensored.
