Walt Whitman

Tools

Walt Whitman was an American poet and a son of Long Island. His collection of poems, "Leaves of Grass" was a continuing endeavor, growing from the original volume of 12 works first published in 1855 to an edition of over 300 works at the time of his death in 1892. The collection is considered one of the world's major literary works and stands as a revolutionary development in poetry: Walt's free verse and rhythmic innovations stand in marked contrast to the rigid rhyming and structural patterns formerly considered so essential to poetic expression
