Description

Trade paperback. 249 pages. Bibliography, Index. Re-issue of the title first published in 1951, first printing thus. “But for the opera, I could never have written Leaves of Grass,” said Whitman later in life. Even if the quote were apocryphal, the poets’ fascination with music and opera in his early life would lend credence to its veracity. No previous ownership marks. A clean, fresh, unmarked and unread copy. Like new.
