Sell Your Complete Poems and Prose of Walt Whitman of 600 Copies Signed

Walter Whitman (/ˈhwɪtmən/; May 31, 1819 – March 26, 1892) was an American poet, essayist, and journalist. A humanist, he was a part of the transition between transcendentalism and realism, incorporating both views in his works. Whitman is among the most influential poets in the American canon, often called the father of free verse. His work was controversial in its time, particularly his poetry collection Leaves of Grass, which was described as obscene for its overt sensuality. Whitman’s own life came under scrutiny for his presumed homosexuality.

Signed and inscribed in ink in March, 1937 by Frost on the front free endpaper with the final verse from “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening.” Inscription reads: “The woods are lovely, dark and deep / But I have promises to keep / And miles to go before I sleep / And miles to go before I sleep. / Robert Frost / For Mary Ellen Gombes San Antonio Texas March 1937.” Frost wrote this poem about winter in June 1922 at his house in Shaftsbury, Vermont that is now home to the “Robert Frost Stone House Museum.” Frost had been up the entire night writing the long poem “New Hampshire” and had finally finished when he realized morning had come. He went out to view the sunrise and suddenly got the idea for “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening.” He wrote the new poem in just a few minutes and later stated that “It was as if I’d had a hallucination.” “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening” was Frost’s favorite of his own poems and later called it his “best bid for remembrance.” Dustjacket shows minor chipping to head and tail of spine and to folds; some toning.
