Walter "Walt" Whitman (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.
