{"product_id":"leaves-of-grass-by-walt-whitman-9781542919623","title":"Leaves of Grass by: Walt Whitman ( collection of poems )","description":"Leaves of Grass is a poetry collection by the American poet Walt Whitman (1819-1892). Though the first edition was published in 1855, Whitman spent most of his professional life writing and re-writing Leaves of Grass, revising it multiple times until his death. This resulted in vastly different editions over four decades-the first a small book of twelve poems and the last a compilation of over 400. The poems of Leaves of Grass are loosely connected, with each representing Whitman's celebration of his philosophy of life and humanity. This book is notable for its discussion of delight in sensual pleasures during a time when such candid displays were considered immoral. Where much previous poetry, especially English, relied on symbolism, allegory, and meditation on the religious and spiritual, Leaves of Grass (particularly the first edition) exalted the body and the material world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Walt Whitman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1542919622\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781542919623\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/03\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 100\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.47lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 8.00w x 0.21d","brand":"Walt Whitman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43985010524415,"sku":"9781542919623","price":8.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_59b557aa-14b8-47eb-955a-62e6e0ea9aba.jpg?v=1683275172","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/leaves-of-grass-by-walt-whitman-9781542919623","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
