"Leaves of grass" is one of the most significant books of American literature of the 19th century, which became the beginning of a new era in poetry. Using a free verse, not adhering to strict rhyme or other formal elements of poetry, Whitman preferred images and metaphors, filling the poems with experiences and emotions, causing readers an unusually bright and deep impressions.
Whitman explores the topics of spirituality, love for nature, people and life, and also expresses his philosophy of freedom, democracy and equality, forcing readers to think about the meaning of life. The industrial theme also occupies an important place in his poetry: Odes for factory pipes, machines and steam locomotives made Whitman of the forerunners of the so -called urban poetry.
This collection has become a symbol of American literature and inspiration for many generations of writers and poets.
Whitman is a pioneer of a free syllable in poetry. His innovative collection “Leaves of the Grass” was released as early as 1855, but has not lost its relevance so far. He was repeatedly reprinted and complemented during the life of the author, thanks to which we see how the poet’s gaze changes, how he becomes wiser, calmer and more multifaceted: his verses are devoted to love, partnership, science, democracy and solidarity of the working people
