Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. American literature and culture are inconceivable without the towering presence of Walt Whitman. Expansive, ecstatic, original in ways that continue to startle and to elicit new discoveries, Whitman?s poetry is a testament to the surging energies of 19th-century America and a monument to the transforming power of literary genius. His incantatory rhythms, revolutionary sense of Eros, and generous, all-embracing vision invite renewed wonder at each reading. Although he has been a defining influence for many poets?Garcia Lorca, Fernando Pessoa, Robinson Jeffers, and Allen Ginsberg?his style is ultimately inimitable, and his achievement unsurpassed in American poetry.?One always wants to start out fresh with Whitman,? writes Harold Bloom in his introduction, ?and read him as though he never has been read before.? In a selection that ranges from early notebook fragments and the complete ?Song of Myself? to the valedictory ?Good-bye My Fancy!,? Bloom has chosen 47 works to represent ?the principal writer that America?North, Central, or South?has brought to us.?About the American Poets ProjectElegantly designed in compact editions, printed on acid-free paper, and textually authoritative, the American Poets Project makes available the full range of the American poetic accomplishment, selected and introduced by today?s most discerning poets and critics.…

Zustand: Very Good. One of the great innovative figures in American letters, Walt Whitman created a daringly new kind of poetry that became a major force in world literature. Leaves Of Grass is his one book.  First published in 1855 with only twelve poems, it was greeted by Ralph Waldo Emerson as "the wonderful gift . . . the most extraordinary piece of wit and wisdom that America has yet contributed."  Over the course of Whitman's life, the book reappeared in many versions, expanded and transformed as the author's experiences and the nation's history changed and grew.  Whitman's ambition was to creates something uniquely American.  In that he succeeded.  His poems have been woven into the very fabric of the American character.  From his solemn masterpieces "When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloom'd" and "Out of the Cradle Endlessly Rocking" to the joyous freedom of "Song of Myself," "I Sing the Body Electric," and "Song of the Open Road," Whitman's work lives on, an inspiration to the poets of later generations.…
