All poems of Walt Whitman Â». Walter Walt was an American poet, essayist and journalist. A humanist, he was a part of the transition between transcendentalism and realism, incorporating both views in his works. Whitman is among the most influential poets in the American canon, often called the father of free verse.
How Walt Whitman Changed The World of Poetry & What You Can Learn From It. In the early 19th century, poetry rhymed. Period. End of story. Free verse didnât exist yet, and anything that didnât descend from a long line of European traditions dictating style, content, and form was quickly dismissed as commonerâs gobbly-gook. It might be called sentimental, perhaps moving, but not poetic. Walt Whitman changed all that. The ideal American poet, according to Whitman, did not elevate himself above the common man. He didnât hold fast to tradition for traditionâs sake. And, above all, he did not identify with Europe, itâs land, people or society.
