Leaves of Grass by Walt Whitman—a groundbreaking collection of poetry that celebrates the human spirit, nature, and the American experience with bold, free verse and radical individuality. Through its sensual language and philosophical depth, the work redefined poetry in the 19th century and remains a timeless ode to democracy and self-expression. This is a long book, so we are encouraging participates to read what they can, even if it is just 10 pages!
