«Hojas de hierba» is Walt Whitman's poetry collection, published by FisicalBook in paperback (186 pages, in Spanish).
A foundational poetry collection of American literature, originally published in 1855 and expanded over decades. In free verse, Whitman exalts nature, democracy and the individual, and links the everyday with the spiritual dimension of body and soul. It was a renewing voice and remains a work of worldwide reference.
Spanish edition of 1994, from the Clásicos Universales collection (Fontana); original title: Leaves of Grass.
For readers of classic poetry and those who want to approach an essential work of American literature.
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.
