Erstmals 1855 erschienen und von Walt Whitman bis zu seinem Tod 1892 immer wieder bearbeitet und erweitert, stellen die "Grashalme" unzweifelhaft eines der Hauptwerke der amerikanischen Lyrik dar. In seinen "Grashalmen" sprengte Walt Whitman alle damals bestehenden Konventionen durch den Einsatz freier Rhythmen und das Anschlagen eines hymnischen Tons, der das Individuum in seiner kosmischen Dimension wie auch die Demokratie in ihrer Vielstimmigkeit auf eine bis dahin ungelesene und unerhörte Weise feiert.

The world ended at 12: 04 p.m. and nobody else even looked up. There is a before and an after to loss. When the sun goes down at noon, you are left standing in the wreckage, unable to understand how the rest of the world is still driving to work and buying coffee. The Sound of Your Absence is not a book that will tell you "everything happens for a reason." It is a companion for the messy, unpolished, and heavy reality of outliving the person you love. Unlike many poetry books about grief and loss that rush you toward the light, this collection meets you in the dark.

The Fall of Hyperion is an unfinished visionary epic that was begun in 1819 as a revision of Keats's earlier poem Hyperion. Framed as a dream-vision, it follows a poet-narrator who wanders into a mysterious garden, eats and drinks at a sacred feast, and finds himself transported to a decaying temple. There he meets the veiled goddess Moneta, priestess of fallen memory, who forces him to confront his own worth as a poet before revealing to him—through visions within the dream—the story of the Titans' overthrow by the Olympian gods.
