"WALT WHITMAN" "Walt Whitman (1819-1892) is one of the best-loved of America’s poets, and considered by some to be the classic American poet, the one who most embodies the spirit and difference of his country. Whitman is best known for"Leaves of Grass", his life-long project of poetry???. Although literary critics have lauded his craftsmanship, he seems a master of the spontaneous. He is inspired, he wants to glorify and to give, he opens wide the floodgates of his soul and lets everything gush out. He is abundant, and whatever pruning he does is masked by the force of the first impression, which no sense of artistry can convince him to reel in. Whitman is exuberant, and mad to live and see???. Whitman had no loyalty to the standard forms of poetry, he was content to write in prose which spilled out in such song-like rivers that it could only be considered poetry. He wrote novels of such meandering stridence and feeling that they fell onto the pages as poems."
