Leaves Of Grass

'Leaves of Grass' is a poetry collection book by Whitman that was first published in 1855. Whitman continued working on it and eventually the book was republished a number of times. His poetry featured distinct straightforwardness that was considered strange and even immoral for those times as thev majority of the poetry was focused on symbolic perception of the world but Whitman's works on the contrary were focused on the material world. In general Whitman thought that form that ideas take is as important as the ideas themselves.
