About Walt Whitman

Walt Whitman was an American poet born in 1819 who revolutionized poetry through his bold, free-verse style that celebrated democracy and the human spirit. His masterwork "Leaves of Grass" challenged literary conventions and remains influential today. Known for embracing contradictions and sensuality, Whitman famously wrote "Do I contradict myself? Very well then I contradict myself" and believed poetry should be accessible to common people rather than confined to elite audiences.
