«Hojas de hierba, Antología» is Walt Whitman's poetry anthology, published in 1999 by Millenium in hardcover (119 pages, in Spanish).
Anthology of 'Hojas de hierba', the poetry collection that Walt Whitman built over nearly forty years. The work, tied to nineteenth-century North America, is a hymn to life, freedom, the self, beauty and poetry, and seeks to define man and the American nation against Anglo-Saxon cultural dominance through a formal and conceptual rupture that proved controversial.
1999 edition from the 'Las 100 joyas del milenio' collection (no. 86), with a prologue by Horacio Vázquez-Rial and translation by Manuel Villar Raso. Walt Whitman's original poetry collection was published in 1855.
For readers of poetry and nineteenth-century North American literature.
Walter Whitman Jr. was an American poet, essayist, and journalist; he also wrote two novels. He is considered one of the most influential poets in American literature and world literature. Whitman incorporated both transcendentalism and realism in his writings and is often called the father of free verse. His work was controversial in his time, particularly his 1855 poetry collection Leaves of Grass, which was described by some as obscene for its overt sensuality.
