Features: This poetry collection, named after the ordinary, universal, and densely populated, ever-proliferating creatures of nature, is directed at the myriad of humanity. It is the representative works of the greatest Romantic poet in American history, Walt Whitman, with profound meaning and magnificent scope. He pioneered a new poetic style and had a significant impact on American and even world poetry. The complete collection includes poems that Whitman published in the first edition in 1855, which expanded to 401 poems by 1892, documenting the poet's life and explorations, as well as reflecting the era and nation he lived in. Therefore, it is not only his personal epic but also the epic of 19th-century America. Leaves of Grass was published between 1855 and 1891 and is divided into parts such as "Inscriptions," "Drum-Taps," "Birds," "Paths," and "Sea-Shore."
