Synopsis
In long, indefatigable lines and flights of passion, Whitman celebrates the soul of Manhattan in the poems collected here., Whitman's famous poem, accompanied by linoleum-cut illustrations, depicts people at work all over an earlier America.
Industry Reviews
"Whitman's best poems have that permanent quality of being freshly painted, of not being dulled by the varnish of the years. Reading them a century after their publication, one feels the same shock and wonder and delight that Emerson felt when opening his presentation copy of the first edition. They carry us into a new world that Whitman discovered as if this very morning....After reading all of 'Leaves of Grass' as Whitman wished it to be preserved and after being won over by what I think is the best of it...I am willing to join the consensus that regards him as our most rewarding poet."
Malcolm Cowley
"I am not blind to the worth of the wonderful gift of 'Leaves of Grass.' I find it the most extraordinary piece of wit and wisdom that America has yet contributed."
Ralph Waldo Emerson
"[O]ffers as good an introduction as any to Whitman, It certainly highlights his prophetic gifts...."
