Walter "Walt" Whitman (/ˈhwɪtmən/; May 31, 1819 – March
26, 1892) was an American poet, essayist and journalist. A humanist, he was a
part of the transition between transcendentalism and realism, incorporating
both views in his works. Whitman is among the most influential poets in the
American canon, often called the father of free verse. His work was very
controversial in its time, particularly his poetry collection Leaves of Grass,
which was described as obscene for its overt sexuality.
