Leaves of Grass

Walt Whitman spent a lifetime revising Leaves of Grass, creating a poetry collection as expansive and contradictory as the democratic society he imagined. From Song of Myself to poems of labor, intimacy, war, death, and the natural world, Whitman challenges narrow ideas of individuality and belonging. This Andre Ford edition is grounded in the poet’s final authorized 1891–1892 arrangement, inviting readers to encounter the breadth of the work beyond its most frequently quoted lines.
