Very first appearance of Walt Whitman's poem "Continuities"...



Item # 683734

March 20, 1888

NEW YORK HERALD, March 20, 1888 

* Walt Whitman's "Continuities" poem - 1st appearance

Page 4 has a brief poem titled: "Continuities" signed in block type: WALT WHITMAN .
This is the very first appearance of this poem as verified by the Walt Whitman Archive, significant as such.  It would later appear in his noteworthy compilation "Leaves of Grass".
Complete in 12 pages, light toning, more so at the edges, loose at the spine, minor margin tears. Rather fragile and must be handled carefully.
