Walt Whitman, born in New York in 1819, was one of Americas unusual literary figures. An individualist, he rambled through the country seeing people and places, and making them his own. His experiences in earning a living were varied: at times he was a printer, a teacher, a carpenter, a nurse and a newspaper editor. He was a big-hearted man, open and accepting. He spent a lot of his time caring for the wounded during the Civil War. Though he lived in the city, he often spent time in the country, developing his strong sense of nature, which carried through his poems. In 1855, he collected the verses he had written, and published them in one thin volume, Leaves of Grass, a book which he revised and was generally ignored by other poets, probably because his verse forms were not traditional. He had felt that it was necessary to achieve a new poetic form in order to communicate his views. His reputation didnt grow until after his death, and it reached a high point in the 1920s. Since then, Whitmans style has greatly influenced modern poets. 66. The best title for this passage is A. Leaves of Grass B. A Country Man C. Walt Whitman D. A New Form of Poetry 67.
