{"product_id":"walt-whitman-selected-poems-american-poets-project-4","title":"Walt Whitman Selected Poems","description":"American literature and culture are inconceivable without the towering presence of Walt Whitman. Expansive, ecstatic, original in ways that continue to startle and to elicit new discoveries, Whitman's poetry is a testament to the surging energies of 19th-century America and a monument to the transforming power of literary genius. His incantatory rhythms, revolutionary sense of Eros, and generous, all-embracing vision invite renewed wonder at each reading. Although he has been a defining influence for many poets--Garcia Lorca, Fernando Pessoa, Robinson Jeffers, and Allen Ginsberg--his style is ultimately inimitable, and his achievement unsurpassed in American poetry. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"One always wants to start out fresh with Whitman,\" writes Harold Bloom in his introduction, \"and read him as though he never has been read before.\" In a selection that ranges from early notebook fragments and the complete \"Song of Myself\" to the valedictory \"Good-bye My Fancy!,\" Bloom has chosen 47 works to represent \"the principal writer that America--North, Central, or South--has brought to us.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the American Poets Project\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eElegantly designed in compact editions, printed on acid-free paper, and textually authoritative, the American Poets Project makes available the full range of the American poetic accomplishment, selected and introduced by today's most discerning poets and critics.","brand":"Library of America","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44459619778697,"sku":"9781931082327","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0376\/3057\/4729\/files\/faf5879d7d5de9b080a833633c143915f6581a39.jpg?v=1756987474","url":"https:\/\/thebookmarkpr.com\/products\/walt-whitman-selected-poems-american-poets-project-4","provider":"The Bookmark Books \u0026 Gifts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
