By boldly treating topics of sensuality, labor, and spirituality with equal reverence, the text stands as an ecstatic, radical celebration of individual identity, universal brotherhood, and the endless potential of a free society. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDescription\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHardcover pocket sized edition. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Moons Rare Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57248597475494,"sku":null,"price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0173\/6563\/1040\/files\/IMG_0504.jpg?v=1788471408","url":"https:\/\/moons-rare-books.myshopify.com\/products\/leaves-of-grass-reprint","provider":"Moons Rare Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
