A review by karmanderofmars
Leaves of Grass by Walt Whitman

4.0

I thought this book was beautiful and absolutely adored the focus on the beautiful nature of the US. I felt Whitman's connection with the earth and his love for it throughout every poem. I also enjoyed his comments on the human body and humanity's role here on earth. Whitman's discussion of the sensual pleasures of living on this earth were very brave for the time and very candid. A bit of a difficult place for me to start a journey with poetry, maybe, but a very enjoyable read nonetheless.
