Leaves of Grass is a collection of nearly 400 poems by Walt Whitman. It is known for its celebration of individuality, democracy, nature, and the human body. Whitman's free verse style and unconventional themes were considered controversial in his time, but the collection is now regarded as a landmark in American literature.

Leaves of Grass was an important literary work of the American Renaissance, which emerged in the mid-19^th century and marked a shift towards a distinctly American literature. The collection was groundbreaking for its celebration of everyday life and its rejection of traditional poetic forms. Whitman's influence can be seen in the work of later poets and writers, including Allen Ginsberg, Langston Hughes, and Jack Kerouac, among others.

About Walt Whitman

Walt Whitman (1819–1892) was born in West Hills, on Long Island, New York, and is regarded as the father of free verse in American poetry. His collection Leaves of Grass, first published in 1855 and revised across multiple editions through his lifetime, contains Song of Myself, I Sing the Body Electric, and When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloom'd, his elegy for Abraham Lincoln. He worked as a journalist, teacher, and government clerk, and volunteered as a nurse during the Civil War, an experience reflected in his collection Drum-Taps (1865). He died in Camden, New Jersey.
