Leaves Of Grass is his one book. First published in 1855 with only twelve poems, it was greeted by Ralph Waldo Emerson as the wonderful gift . . . the most extraordinary piece of wit and wisdom that America has yet contributed. Over the course of Whitmans life, the book reappeared in many versions, expanded and transformed as the authors experiences and the nations history changed and grew. Whitmans ambition was to creates something uniquely American. In that he succeeded. His poems have been woven into the very fabric of the American character. From his solemn masterpieces When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloomd and Out of the Cradle Endlessly Rocking to the joyous freedom of Song of Myself, I Sing the Body Electric, and Song of the Open Road, Whitmans work lives on, an inspiration to the poets of later generations.
