When Walt Whitman self-published his Leaves of Grass in July 1855, he altered the course of literary history. One of the greatest masterpieces of American literature, it redefined the rules of poetry while describing the soul of the American character.
Throughout his great career, Whitman continuously revised, expanded, and republished Leaves of Grass, but as Harold Bloom reminds us, the book that matters most is the 1855 original. In celebration of the poem's 150th anniversary, Penguin Classics proudly presents the 1855 text in its original and complete form, with a specially commissioned introductory essay by Harold Bloom.
I celebrate myself, and sing myself,
And what I assume you shall assume,
For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you.
"Whitman, the great poet, has meant so much to me. Whitman the one man breaking a way ahead. Whitman the one pioneer . . . Ahead of Whitman, nothing. Ahead of all poets, pioneering into the wilderness of unopened life, Whitman. Beyond him, none." —D. H. Lawrence

評分讀的是1855版,被第一首四十頁長詩驚到瞭(畢竟以前看的中文版都是小短詩)free verse的確像是把prose拆分,加上imagery和無數的parallel (which, though, I deeply love)/ 還是喜歡浪漫主義的,尤其是這種既有廣泛的奇思妙想又有些許現實隱喻的(後續版本政治太多(雖然他自己說詩人不能不有政治上的自由觀念,且經曆完瞭內戰,難免),反倒沒有這麼迷人瞭)/ perface寫得極好(遺憾的是不可避免地manifest destiny瞭),甚至超過瞭作品本身
