Walt Whitman's Biography

Walter Whitman (May 31, 1819 – March 26, 1892) was an American poet, essayist, journalist, and 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.

The text is as saturated with dense musings as it is with revelations that are nearly impossible to convey any way but through their original sentence structures. But Nikos Kazantzakis’ novel Zorba the Greek could be said ...
