«Hojas de hierba» is the poetry collection by American poet Walt Whitman, published by Mayol Pujol in 1983 in paperback (718 pages, in Spanish).
A collection of poems that Whitman revised and expanded over decades until fixing the definitive 1891-1892 edition; his voice sings democracy, diversity, and the American experience with an expansive, celebratory poetic self. This edition offers the complete text in Spanish, not a selection, in a direct translation from English.
Originally published in 1855, this 1983 edition corresponds to the 1891-1892 text; translation by Francisco Alexander. Includes bibliography and index.
For readers of poetry and classic literature interested in a central work of the nineteenth-century American canon.
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.
