Poetry


A seminal event in American literature, this nineteenth-century collection of poetry and essays celebrates nature and humanity's place in it.


Leaves of Grass is a timeless collection of poems and essays penned by influential nineteenth-century writer Walt Whitman. This profound compilation explores topics such as nature, mysticism, mortality, transcendentalism, and democracy. Inspired by personal experiences and observations, Whitman spent almost four decades piecing together the complete work, sharing societal ideals and epiphanies about life that still resonate with readers today.



McSweeney's presents a gorgeous cloth-bound, hardcover, multi-book edition of Leaves of Grass, Walt Whitman's masterpiece. In addition to the original, full-length work, we've compiled a dazzling array of archival materials, including handwritten drafts and other ephemera, to accompany this edition.
