born in New York in 1819, was one of American’s unusual literary figures An individualist, he rambled through the countryside 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 gave freely of his time by 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 to 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 rewrote all the rest of his life The book was ridiculed by some poets and generally ignored by the others, 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 didn’t grow until after his death, and it reached a high point in 1920s Since then, Whitman’s style has greatly influenced modern poets The best title for this passage is A Leaves of Grass B Walt Whitman C A Country
