A collection of astonishing originality and intensity, it spoke of politics, sexual emancipation, and what it meant to be an American. From the joyful “Song of Myself” and “I Sing the Body Electric” to the elegiac “When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloom’d,” Whitman’s art fuses oratory, journalism, and song in a vivid celebration of humanity. Containing all Whitman’s known poetic work, this edition reprints the final, or “deathbed,” edition of Leaves of Grass (1891–92). Earlier versions of many poems are also given, including the 1855 “Song of Myself.” • Features a completely new—and fuller—introduction discussing the development of Whitman's poetic career, his influence on later American poets, and his impact on the American cultural sensibility • Includes chronology, updated suggestions for further reading, and extensive notes For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.

Review: Excellent Product :)!!! - Excellent item, support and service :)!!! Review: Excellent book, packaging for shipping not so good - Superb collection of the poems of Walt Whitman. Paperback edition. Very pleased. My only small complaint is that the shipping wasn’t very good. Should have been wrapped better. The book was simply placed in a typical desertcart Prime slightly-padded mailing envelope, and by the time it reached me, the cover of the book was slightly damaged. The book should have been shipped in a more protective small box, insuring that it would not be damaged en route to the buyer. However, I can live with it, as it wasn’t a gift. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #59,503 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #43 in American Fiction Anthologies #203 in Classic American Literature #1,527 in Classic Literature & Fiction | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 448 Reviews | ## Images ![The Complete Poems (Penguin Classics) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51yZgFep0SL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Product :)!!! *by D***R on May 9, 2025* Excellent item, support and service :)!!! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent book, packaging for shipping not so good *by S***5 on December 4, 2019* Superb collection of the poems of Walt Whitman.

We're talking Walt Whitman. This is certainly not a quick read, but it is worth digesting slowly. Not every reader will like every poem. Even Whitman constantly revised his work. I see this body of work to be essential reading for every educated American. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Complete Poems (Penguin Classics) - The Complete Poems of Emily Dickinson - The Poetry of Robert Frost: The Collected Poems --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.in/products/13694609-the-complete-poems-penguin-classics](https://www.desertcart.in/products/13694609-the-complete-poems-penguin-classics) --- *Product available on Desertcart India* *Store origin: IN* *Last updated: 2026-05-14*
