Description

1882 Walt Whitman Leaves of Grass American Poetry SEXUALITY Scandal Romanticism

“Oh Captain! My Captain! our fearful trip is done,The ship has weatherd every rack, the prize we sought is won.”

– Walt Whitman, Leaves of Grass

Walt Whitman is among the most influential poets in the American canon and is often called the father of free verse. His work, especially “Leaves of Grass”, was very controversial in its time due to its contents containing overt sexuality.

Printed in 1882 by Welsh, this early edition features some of the notable Whitman poems such as:

I Sing the Body Electric

A Woman Waits for Me

The Ship Starting

Laws for Creations

Children of Adam

Calamus
