Breaking the norms through his\n context and structure of poetry, Walt Whitman’s seminal work,\n  Leaves of Grass , brought a new\n vision to and for America. From freedom to slavery, love to sexuality, and\n war to peace, he covered a span of topics to provide a holistic ideal for a\n masterpiece. \n \n A major force in the world to get introduced to new literature, the bold\n and unabashed poetry came\n as a fresh voice which was here to stay. The collection remains an epitome\n of a classic. It touches\n the horizons to explore and expand the then understanding of existence and\n democracy. Whitman\n has lived through this text for ages and will continue to do so. He poured\n his identity into each\n poem, making it personalized, yet universal enough to guide and educate the\n people reading it; a\n true characteristic of a foundational text which can establish the roots of\n resistance.
