I do know that.Selections read are Whitman's most famous from one of the most
popular American poet's works ever published-Leaves of Grass.Leaves of Grass published
first in 1855.I copied this of Wikipedia.Thanx Wikipedia!You're the best!All the way.
"There is no definitive edition of Leaves of Grass — Whitman continually revised his
masterwork, adding and occasionally removing poems. The first edition, published
on July 4, 1855 in Brooklyn, New York, was remarkable for its sense of novelty —
the style and subject matter were almost entirely unknown before its publication.
Whitman paid for and did much of the typesetting for the first edition, which he published
anonymously. However, again flouting convention, a picture of Whitman appeared on the
inside of the front cover, dressed in work clothes and a jaunty hat, arms at his side
in a pose embodying the everyman persona he exalts in his poetry.
The Drum-Taps section was added in 1865, after the death of Abraham Lincoln.
Lincoln, Whitman's hero, had read and reportedly enjoyed the earlier version of Leaves
of Grass,remarkably so at a time when much of the public had yet to accept the work.
The last version of Leaves of Grass, called the Death Bed Edition, was published in 1891.
By the time this last edition was completed, Leaves of Grass had grown from a small book
of 12 poems to a hefty tome of almost 400 poems. As the volume changed, so did the
pictures of Whitman used to illustrate them — the last edition depicts an older Whitman
with a full beard and jacket, appearing more sophisticated and wise."
It goes on.
