Presents a revision of the 1973 Norton Critical Edition of Walt Whitman's "Leaves of Grass," and includes the full text of the 1855 edition, as well as excerpts from two prose works, annotations, and commentary.

This manuscript is a hand-written copy of the 1865 poem "O Captain! My Captain!" penned by Walt Whitman himself. Autographed at the bottom, this manuscript displays the poem written in tribute to the death of President Abraham Lincoln, just after the American Civil War. Today, it remains one of Whitman's most popular works.

The author finds miracles everywhere--in nature, on city streets, and at home.
