Leaves of grass (1855-71),: Democratic vistas (Everyman's library, ed. by Ernest Rhys. Poetry & the drama. [no. 573])
from E.P. Dutton

Customer Review:

4 1/2 stars, really, but we can't do that. This is the original 1855 version. Whitman added to the collection throughout his life, ending up with an overstuffed and very uneven "deathbed" version, which is better known. There are some good poems in it which aren't in the original, such as When... more info

Customer Review:

This is a wonderful collection of American poetry classics. It contains most of the poems that have been taught through the years in American schools as the ' classics ' of American Literature. It does not really touch the American poetry of the past fifty years.

Excellent comparative collection of the earlier and later editions, plus Specimen Days and other prose by Whitman not available in one collection. The binding is the best and the pages will last for a looong time.

Song of Myself

Price: $4.99

Customer Review:

Special preview note:
I have to say these reviews confuse me because I see nothing about Stephen Mitchell in the book I hold in my hands. I don't know where the reference comes from at all, so I am going to write as if I don't know what the reviewers are using as a reference to Mitchell... and... more info

I have purchased this book for all of my extended family members.

Walt Whitman: Selected Poems
from Gramercy
Price: $9.99

Customer Review:

This book is highly entertaining and quaint, and it also teaches acceptance and peace through example. With views that even today are still evolving in America, Whitman almost seems to have written this book in 2050, and just slipped it back in time for us to read now.

The Portable Walt Whitman (Penguin Classics)
from Penguin Classics
Price: $12.24

Customer Review:

Whitman is the great American poet. Emily Dickinson has a greatness more metaphorically striking and acutely original in thought. And Wallace Stevens has a music which in its intellectual complexity perhaps transcends that of Whitman.
But Whitman is as Emerson rightly understood the essential... more info
