'''Description of Artwork:''' Written by Walt Whitman, Leaves of Grass is a critically acclaimed collection of poetry. Although originally printed in 1855, Whitman continued to edit and revise the collection throughout his life. Some of his poems in the collection like, "Song of Myself, "I Sing the Body Electric" and "Pioneers, O Pioneers" have become enduring, celebratory anthems of Americana and are deeply embedded in the National psyche. Unlike other poetry of the time, which heavily employed allegory, symbolism and upheld religious and spiritual tropes, his poems predominantly engaged the body and the senses. | '''Description of Artwork:''' Written by Walt Whitman, Leaves of Grass is a critically acclaimed collection of poetry.
