Specimen Days And Collect (1883)

Specimen Days and Collect is a collection of essays and sketches written by Walt Whitman, one of America's most influential poets. The book is divided into three sections, each with a distinct focus. The first section, Specimen Days, is a memoir of Whitman's experiences during the Civil War. The second section, Collect, is a collection of short stories and sketches that reflect Whitman's observations of everyday life in America. The final section, November Boughs, is a collection of essays and poems that explore a range of topics, including politics, literature, and nature. Through his writing, Whitman captures the essence of America in the late 19th century, offering insights into its culture, people, and landscape. The book is a testament to Whitman's unique voice and his ability to capture the beauty and complexity of the world around him.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
