Whitman, Walt (1819-1892) - One of the greatest American poets. Although

received by the critics of his day, never enjoyed a mass popularity. Public

Leaves of Grass (1855) - Whitman's best-known work was originally a
collection of twelve untitled poems that was expanded over eight subsequent
revisions. The book is known for its radical, irregular style and content.
