"Leaves of Grass" is a groundbreaking collection of poems by Walt Whitman that celebrates the human spirit, nature, and the interconnectedness of all life. First published in 1855, the work evolved through numerous editions, reflecting Whitman's progressive thoughts on democracy, individuality, and the American experience. The poems embrace themes of love, sexuality, and mortality, employing free verse and a distinctive voice that champions the ordinary as extraordinary. Whitman's exploration of self, community, and the divine in nature invites readers to reflect on their own existence and place within the cosmos, making it a cornerstone of American literature.
