Here are stories lyrical and savage; poems epic and intimate; essays satirical and inspirational; and ideas that have shaped the lives of millions. Walt Whitman (1819-1892). Whitman's works available in Penguin Classics are Leaves of Grass and The Complete Poems.

Mehso-so

It was on overall. A lot of the poems I didn't really get on with because they struck me as pretentious, and there seemed to be no real structure to them, but there were a couple that I quite enjoyed which is why it's a so-so instead of a pan. I might (though its unlikely) reread the two poems that I particularly liked again eventually, but never the whole book 🤔

Poetry celebrating nature and the human spirit. Perfect for a quick read out in the sunshine.

#augustofpages #bookphotochallenge I don't own nearly enough poetry considering how much I love it. I have way too many favorite poets/poems to name here, but for those of you who speak French and who want to experience some French-Canadian poetry, here is a link to my favorite poem of all time
