Media Reviews
"[O]ffers as good an introduction as any to Whitman, It certainly highlights his prophetic gifts...." -- Peter Davidson
-- Times Literary Supplement
"Whitman's best poems have that permanent quality of being freshly painted, of not being dulled by the varnish of the years. Reading them a century after their publication, one feels the same shock and wonder and delight that Emerson felt when opening his presentation copy of the first edition. They carry us into a new world that Whitman discovered as if this very morning....After reading all of 'Leaves of Grass' as Whitman wished it to be preserved and after being won over by what I think is the best of it...I am willing to join the consensus that regards him as our most rewarding poet." -- Malcolm Cowley
"I am not blind to the worth of the wonderful gift of 'Leaves of Grass.' I find it the most extraordinary piece of wit and wisdom that America has yet contributed." -- Ralph Waldo Emerson
