Whitman, Walt
Whitman, Walt ( Walter) (1819–92) US poet. In 1855 he published, at his own expense,
Leaves of Grass – a volume of 12 poems that included “Song of Myself”. In 1856 and 1860, Whitman produced enlarged editions of the work.
Drum-Taps (1865), which draws on his experience of medical service in the Civil War, and
Sequel to Drum-Taps (1865–66), which includes his famous elegies to Abraham Lincoln, “When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloom'd” and “O Captain! My Captain!”, were both incorporated into a much-expanded 1867 edition of
Leaves of Grass. Whitman's use of free verse, symbolic association and colloquial language represents a major transition in
American literature.
