“Whatever satisfies the soul is truth.” — Walt Whitman, Leaves of Grass Leaves of Grass is a timeless collection of poems and essays penned by influential nineteenth-century writer Walt Whitman. This profound compilation explores topics such as nature, mysticism, mortality, transcendentalism, and democracy.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Leaves of Grass is Walt Whitman's greatest poetry collection. Originally published in 1855, Whitman revised this collection several times during his life. This book contains Whitman's Leaves of Grass "Deathbed Edition" which was published in 1892, the year of his death. This "Deathbed Edition" contains Whitman's last revisions to his masterpiece. Don't settle for any version but the "Deathbed Edition" as all other editions are not the final edition and thus do not contain all the poems that Whitman added to Leaves of Grass over his lifetime, nor do they contain all the revisions that Whitman made over the years. Leaves of Grass contains a plethora of Whitman's famous works such as Song of Myself O Captain! My Captain! When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloom'd I Sing the Body Electric and many, many more!! All told, this collection contains nearly 400 pages of Whitman's finest poetry. Enjoy Walt Whitman Leaves of Grass like never before!

From one of America's best loved and most important poets comes a masterpiece. Leaves of Grass is considered by many to be the greatest collection of poetry ever produced by an American. And this, the 1855 First Edition Text, is considered the strongest and most important of the many editions produced throughout Whitman's life. Here Whitman is at the height of his writing prowess, and no other edition would match it for strength and impact. "The most extraordinary piece of wit and wisdom that America has yet contributed." - Ralph Waldo Emerson

In response to Ralph Waldo Emerson's call for the United States to have its own unique poet, Walt Whitman rose to the challenge to create what would ultimately be his most profound work. Taking its title from the colloquial term "grass", meaning a work of minor value, Whitman's "Leaves of Grass" is anything but that. Over his lifetime Whitman would continue to expand and revise his most famous book up until his death in 1892. Here in this volume we have reproduced the last edition, commonly referred to as "The Death Bed Edition".
