Notes Left Over (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781419137457)

Notes Left Over is a collection of previously unpublished writings by the American poet Walt Whitman. The book includes a variety of pieces, including essays, letters, and fragments of poetry, that were discovered after Whitman's death. The writings offer insight into Whitman's creative process and personal life, as well as his views on politics, society, and culture. Some of the pieces in the book are unfinished, providing a glimpse into Whitman's working methods and the evolution of his ideas. Overall, Notes Left Over is a valuable addition to the body of work by one of America's most influential poets.If the United States, like the countries of the Old World, are also to grow vast crops of poor, desperate, dissatisfied, nomadic, miserably-waged populations, such as we see looming upon us of late years -- steadily, even if slowly, eating into them like a cancer of lungs or stomach -- then our republican experiment, notwithstanding all its surface-successes, is at heart an unhealthy failure.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
