A review by lsparrow
Leaves of Grass by Walt Whitman

3.0

I am very glad to have read this classic.
The title is so appropriate for this collection and so fitting.
This is the poetry that appeals to the masses - as one reads one feels one has such deep thoughts and and emotions.
This sort of poetry has again become popular in this current age - what I feel is the inspirational calander sort of poetry - short snippets of inspirational thought or emotion. Of course Whitman writes from him time and from the inspiration of the nation that he is a part of - fairly newly formed and ideal.
