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. "The most extraordinary piece of wit and wisdom
that America has yet contributed." - Ralph Waldo Emerson
When I read the book, the biography famous, And is this then
(said I) what the author calls a man's life? And so will
some one when I am dead and gone write my life? (As if any
man really knew aught of my life, Why even I myself I often
think know little or nothing of my real life, Only a few
hints, a few diffused faint clews and indirections I seek
for my own use to trace out here.)- Walt Whitman
