Leaves of Grass

«Leaves of Grass» – one of the most significant books of American literature of the 19th century, marking the beginning of a new era in poetry. Using free verse, without adhering to strict rhyme or other formal elements of poetry,... Whitman preferred images and metaphors, filling his poems with experiences and emotions, evoking extraordinarily vivid and profound impressions in readers. Whitman explores themes of spirituality, love for nature, people, and life, as well as expressing his philosophy of freedom, democracy, and equality, prompting readers to reflect on the meaning of life. An important theme in his poetry is also industrial: odes to factory chimneys, machines, and locomotives made Whitman a forerunner of so-called urban poetry. This collection became a symbol of American literature and an inspiration for many generations of writers and poets.
