"Leaves of Grass" is a seminal collection of poetry by Walt Whitman, first published in 1855 and expanded in subsequent editions. The work celebrates the individual, nature, and the interconnectedness of all living things. Whitman's free verse style breaks traditional boundaries, allowing him to explore themes of democracy, spirituality, and the human experience. His poems reflect a deep appreciation for the body and soul, expressing a vision of America that embraces diversity and unity. Through vivid imagery and passionate language, Whitman invites readers to revel in the beauty of life and the essence of humanity. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].
