Originally published in 1855 as part of Leaves of Grass, "Song of Myself" was revised and expanded by Whitman through several editions--sometimes undermining the freshness of the work. Now Stephen Mitchell has gone back to the original text and substituted only those revisions that improve the poem. Two-color interior.
