Description
1900 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 1900 by McKay, this new edition was printed with all of Whitmans final changes. It is a decorative display piece that features a three-page facsimile autobiographical note, as well as four other illustrated plates throughout. Some of the notable poems contained in this collection include:

I sing the Body Electric

A Woman Waits for Me

The Ship Starting

Laws for Creations

Children of Adam

Sands at Seventy

Good-bye My Fancy

Calamus
