One of the best-known and most stirring American poems, brilliantly edited by Stephen Mitchell, now available in the Shambhala Pocket Library series.

An undeniable and beloved classic of American poetry, Song of Myself was originally published as part of Leaves of Grass, with Whitman expanding, revising, and editing it in subsequent editions for much of his life.

Tangling with themes of the self, nature, and one's place in the universe, Whitman's labor of language comes again and again to a simple yet astonishing conclusion--I contain multitudes--that everything, even the smallest, most seemingly insignificant blade of grass and tiny ant have inside them the infinite universe.
