Leaves of Grass is a poetry collection by American poet Walt Whitman. Though it was first published in 1855, Whitman spent most of his professional life writing, rewriting, and expanding Leaves of Grass[1] until his death in 1892. Six or nine individual editions of Leaves of Grass were produced, depending on how they are distinguished.[2] This resulted in vastly different editions over four decades. The first edition was a small book of twelve poems, and the last was a compilation of over 400. <
