The Poetry of Walt Whitman is a collection containing 49 poems by the famous poet. The poems range in length from 75 pages (Song of Myself) to just a few lines long. Whitman explores themes of nature, love, self, triumph, defeat, and much more. Whitman’s eloquent style is present in each poem, making each poem recognizably his own. The famous poet’s poetry truly acts as a window into his thoughts and soul.

I loved this poetry collection. Specifically, some of my favorite poems were One Hour to Madness and Joy, To One Shortly To Die, That Shadow My Likeness, A Glimpse, Sometimes With One I Love, I Sit And Look Out, and O Me! O Life! Walt Whitman’s writing style is so beautifully expressive and eloquent that I truly enjoyed reading each and every one of the poems in this collection, even the ones that weren’t my favorite. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes poetry, or is trying to get into it more!
