«Hojas de hierba: Antología bilingüe» is Walt Whitman's poetry anthology, published by Alianza in paperback, with 270 pages in a bilingual edition.
Bilingual anthology with the earliest versions of the poems from 'Hojas de hierba', translated into Spanish alongside the original text. Whitman sings of the self, nature, the body and the soul, equality between men and women, fraternity and democracy, with a free voice that renewed poetry and aroused admiration and controversy.
Translation, prologue and notes by Manuel Villar Raso. The collection originally appeared in 1855 as 'Leaves of Grass' and went through nine corrected and expanded editions during Whitman's lifetime.
It is a work aimed at readers of classical poetry and American literature who appreciate bilingual editions.
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.
