Walt whitman (18 19- 1892) was an outstanding American democratic poet in the 9th century. He comes from a peasant family and worked as a carpenter, compositor, teacher, newspaper editor and clerk. He wrote many poems in his life. His poems embody American democratic ideals and reflect the great historical facts of American War of Independence and Civil War. From the standpoint of progress and justice, he enthusiastically called for bourgeois democracy and freedom, sincerely praised laborers and laborers, strongly condemned reactionary serfdom, lashed out at asceticism of feudal religions, and eagerly looked forward to a bright future and the emergence of a "world paradise". His poetry collection Leaves of Grass is named after Leaves of Grass, which means "democracy". In order to avoid the traditional poetic conventions, such as rhyme and meter, Whitman created an unprecedented free poetic style to fully express his thoughts and feelings. Freedom is a major feature of Leaves of Grass. His creation has a great influence on the development of European and American poetry, and he is known as "Whitman, the father of American poetry".
