A collectible new Penguin Classics series: stunning, clothbound editions of ten favourite poets, which present each poet's most famous book of verse as it was originally published. Designed by the acclaimed Coralie Bickford-Smith and beautifully set, these slim,  A format volumes are the ultimate gift for poetry lovers. In 1855 Walt Whitman published his first collection of poetry,  Leaves of Grass . The volume received great praise from leading Transcendentalist poet Ralph Waldo Emerson. This encouraged what would become a lifelong project as Whitman expanded and rewrote the volume until his death in 1892. Whitman's innovative use of free verse and the quotidian achieved his aim of reaching out to the everyday American. This edition, based on the earliest published version of 1855, features Whitman's most famous poem 'Song of Myself', an American epic inspired by his personal experiences.

Leaves of Grass

TO YOU, IDLER. UP!Though your limbs may be corpulent and weary from your sedentary repose, your head a-thunder from an evening of indulgence, your spirit weary from the wretched nine-to-five - fret not, dear man, for within these pages are strategies to replenish and rejuvenate your manly health and well-being. Heed not those who would have you join a house of muscled exertion and toss your technological flim-flam into the long grass. Attend instead to the most gentlemanly of guides, esteemed man of letters Walt Whitman, who will advise on the most vital qualities of health and training for fellows of all ages and inclinations. Undiscovered and unutilized for more than 150 years, here are the choice extracts from Mr Whitman's manifesto, which will provide you with a complete and exact science of manly virtue and vigour.

As I sit here by the creek, resting after my walk, a warm languor bathes me from the sun. No sound but a cawing of crows, and no motion but their black flying figures from over-head, reflected in the mirror of the pond below. Indeed a principal feature of the scene today is these crows, their incessant cawing, far or near, and their countless flocks and processions moving from place to place, and at times almost darkening the air with their myriads. As I sit a moment writing this by the bank, I see the black, clear-cut reflection of them far below, flying through the watery looking-glass, by ones, twos, or long strings. All last night I heard the noises from their great roost in a neighboring wood.

En commen�ant mes �tudes le premier pas m'a plu si fort, Le simple fait de la conscience, ces formes, la motilit�, Le moindre insecte ou animal, les sens, la vue, l'amour, Le premier pas, dis-je, m'a frapp� d'un tel respect et plu si fort, Que je ne suis gu�re all� et n'ai gu�re eu envie d'aller plus loin, Mais de m'arr�ter � musarder tout le temps pour chanter cela en chants extasi�s.

Poèmes de Walt Whitman: Version Française (Classic Reprint)

" Je crois qu'une feuille d'herbe n'est en rien inférieure au labeur des étoiles, Et que la fourmi est également parfaite, et un grain de sable et l'œuf du roitelet, Et que la rainette est un chef-d'œuvre digne du plus haut des cieux, Et que la ronce grimpante pourrait orner les salons du ciel, Et que la plus infime jointure de ma main l'emporte sur toute la mécanique, Et que la vache qui broute, tête baissée, surpasse n'importe quelle statue, Et qu'une souris est un miracle capable de confondre des sextillions d'incroyants. "
Walt Whitman, c'est l'Amérique ! Celle des grands espaces, des pionniers, des hommes libres et rebelles... Son chant, c'est l'enthousiasme, l'appel à la vie, la générosité, la réhabilitation du corps comme lieu de beauté, de jouissance et de spiritualité.
Et, pourtant, même si " Capitaine, mon Capitaine... " résonne encore dans l'esprit de tous ceux qui ont aimé Le Cercle des poètes disparus, ce Rimbaud du Nouveau Monde est encore trop peu connu chez nous.
Voici, en hommage à ce chef-d'œuvre de la poésie du XIXe siècle, les plus beaux moments de Feuilles d'herbe, accompagnés des images chaudes et sensibles de Michele Ferri.
