Speak in the first person

Leaves of Grass is a collection of poetry by American poet Walt Whitman. Whitman spent most of his life rewriting the collection. Therefore, there are many different editions. All the poems in the collection are extremely personal, and consist of a celebration of life, nature and humanity. The poems focus on the material world as opposed to the religious or spiritual. The collection was extremely controversial due to its description of sensual pleasure.
