{"product_id":"walt-whitman-selected-poems-9781931082327","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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Library of America\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/27\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781931082327\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 221\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.69lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.76h x 4.82w x 0.72d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/15\/2003 pg. 1269\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2003 pg. 117\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Walt Whitman","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45483925930165,"sku":"9781931082327","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_f8b095d8-a229-40ac-a2db-3d958187d3b5.jpg?v=1749565840","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/walt-whitman-selected-poems-9781931082327","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
