In May 1860, Walt Whitman published a third edition of "Leaves of Grass." His timing was compelling. Printed during a period of regional, ideological, and political divisions, written by a poet intimately concerned with the idea of a United States as "essentially the greatest poem, " this new edition was Whitman's last best hope for national salvation. Now available in a facsimile edition, "Leaves of Grass, 1860" faithfully reproduces Whitman'...

Ein stimmgewaltiger Barde war er - poetischer Verkünder der Neuen Welt und ihrer Menschen, einer selbstbewussten amerikanischen Nation, frei, demokratisch, voller Ideen und Ideale. Nahezu vier Jahrzehnte lang arbeitete Walt Whitman (1819-1892) an seinem Gedichtzyklus 'Grashalme' und schuf ein Werk von berauschender Kraft und entwaffnender Unmittelbarkeit. Der fließende Rhythmus seiner freien Verse begeistert bis heute ebenso wie die Sinnlichke...

Foglie d'erba", la raccolta di poesie che Whitman andò continuamente ampliando dal 1855 al 1892, è un fiume straripante che trascina, nel suo inarrestabile scorrere, ogni palpito di vita. È respiro vitale, corporeità selvatica, sesso, erotismo, speranza, allegria, esaltazione dell'individuo e insieme della massa, dei singolo e dell'uguaglianza. È puro presente, immanenza, istantaneità. E tanta irrue...

La pubblicazione della prima edizione di "Foglie d'erba", nel 1855, ebbe un effetto dirompente sul panorama letterario mondiale: per la prima volta compariva sulle scene un "nuovo bardo" - come ebbe a definirlo H.D. Thoreau che segnava l'inizio di una rivoluzione nella poesia americana.
