Walt Whitman was an American poet, essayist, journalist, and humanist whose work is considered fundamental to United States literature. He is celebrated for his book "Leaves of Grass," a collection of poems that evolved throughout his life and celebrates the human experience in its entirety, democracy, nature, and the body. His innovative style, use of free verse, and his inclusive and democratic vision made him a pioneering and revolutionary figure in modern poetry.
