Special preview note: I have to say these reviews confuse me because I see nothing about Stephen Mitchell in the book I hold in my hands. I don't know where the reference comes from at all, so I am going to write as if I don't know what the reviewers are using as a reference to Mitchell... and now I see, those reviewers were reading an entirely different version of the book - so if you are ...             The Complete Poems (Penguin Classics)7 reviews Walt Whitman Penguin Classics, 2005 !!!EMERALD!!! not only the greatest selling poet who has been dead for more than fifty years, not only the poet whose translations are regularly read abroad, not only the poet whose name has in-spired countless others, not only the poet who freed us from the manacles of rhyme and decapitated the tyranny of meter but also a man of enthusiasm, a titan, a man whose soul floods with belch, fume and quake, a man ...             Franklin Evans, or The Inebriate: A Tale of the Times Walt Whitman Duke University Press, 2007 Not many people know that Walt Whitman?arguably the preeminent American poet of the nineteenth century?began his literary career as a novelist.

He single-handedly transformed the world of American poetry with his one and only collection, Leaves of Grass. Leaves of Grass, however, is not one collection between two covers. Rather, it is a collection of collections.

I'm no student of poetry, in fact I only purchased it because I randomly flipped it open and was enamored with the passage I found. I learned that the passage is from "Song of Myself" and have read both that epic poem and the entire collection through dozens of times. I didn't know exactly what I had purchased that day. ...             101 Great American Poems (Dover Thrift Editions)7 reviews Edgar Allan Poe, Walt Whitman, ...

Brodsky believed that poetry books should be distributed free of charge in many places, such as supermarkets and factories. He also had the idea that an anthology of poetry should be, "found in every hotel room in the ...             Leaves of Grass: The Original 1855 Edition (Thrift Edition)5 reviews Walt Whitman Dover Publications, 2007 What More Can Be Said? It's difficult to think of something appropriate to say about a man who spent his life trying to express the panorama of humanity through the lense of his own heart. From a drop of blood to the grandeur of a shipyard or a continent, he takes all readers on a journey wild with raving, raging, sorrow, longing, humbleness and pride. At once he is totally modern and yet rife with history. For ...             Leaves of Grass69 reviews, 2008 What book will you get when you order this? There seems to be some confusion, both in the editorial reviews and the customer reviews, about what edition is being referred to in this listing. the first editorial review correctly discusses the first edition as shorter and "less bloated" than the deathbed edition. however, the rest of the reviews seem to discuss either edition indiscriminately. the two are effectively different books. ...             Works of Walt Whitman.
