Walt Whitman
First published in 1918, this vintage book contains a fantastic collection of some of Walt Whitman's best poetry, each connected through a common theme of patriotism and national pride. Walt Whitman (1819 - 1892) was an American essayist, poet, and journalist who was pivotal to the transition from transcendentalism to realism. His work was notably divisive and claimed by many to be obscene when first published, but he is now considered to be one of the most influential people in the American poetic canon and the "father of free verse". Contents include: "Thick-Sprinkled Bunting", "Beat! Beat! Drums!", "City of Ships", "A March in the Ranks Hard-prest, and the Road Unknown", "Come Up From the Fields Father", "A Twilight Song", "A Sight in Camp in the Daybreak Gray and Dim", "Year That Trembled and Reel'd Beneath Me", "First O Songs for a Prelude", "Song of the Banner at Daybreak", etc. This wonderful collection will appeal to poetry lovers and is not to be missed by fans and collectors of Whitman's seminal work. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with the original text and artwork.
