The influence of the work
Leaves of Grass is the most important work in Whitman's poetry collection, named after the poem "Where there is soil, there is water, there is grass". The poems in the anthology are like grass growing all over the United States, full of vitality and emitting attractive fragrance. They are world-famous masterpieces and create a new era of American national poetry.
The author made a bold innovation in the form of poetry, created a "free body" poetry form, broke the traditional poetry rhythm, and took punctuation as the basis of rhythm. The rhythm is free and unrestrained, Wang Yang is free and unrestrained, with a torrent of momentum and all-encompassing capacity.
