There are volumes of Whitman available everywhere (my favorite is the Essential Whitman by Galway Kinnel). This is a quality paperback and worth the read just for Cunningham's introduction.

Just saw this on an Amazon e-mail and thought it sounded interesting. Tied to Michael Cunningham's Specimen Days -- even the cover uis similar -- and presents excerpts of Whitman including Whitman's own writing titled Specimen Days from which Cunningham took his own title.
I got this and the first version Leaves of Grass from Amelia for Christmas and it was fun to read them back to back and see how his perspective matured over the 30 years in between.
Better off just grabbing Leaves of Grass, obviously.
Walt Whitman's work has always been intriguing to me. Laws of Creations is a great read all the way through! His literary style is timeless, I would read it again! :)
