It belongs to the Visor de Poesía collection (number 694). The work originally appeared in English as Leaves of Grass.
For readers of classic poetry, literature students, and those who wish to read Whitman in a bilingual edition.
Walter Whitman Jr. was an American poet, essayist, and journalist; he also wrote two novels. He is considered one of the most influential poets in American literature and world literature. Whitman incorporated both transcendentalism and realism in his writings and is often called the father of free verse. His work was controversial in his time, particularly his 1855 poetry collection Leaves of Grass, which was described by some as obscene for its overt sensuality.
