Walt Whitman (1819~1892)
Walt Whitman was born in 1819 in Long Island, New York. He
attended grammar school in Brooklyn and took his first job
with the Long Island Patriot. Between 1841 and the summer
of 1859, Whitman held editorial positions on seven different
newspapers. During the spring of 1855, at his own expense,
Walt Whitman published the first edition of Leaves of Grass.
Today it is considered a masterpiece of world literature and
Whitman is recognized as America's national poet.

New England at the age of eleven and became interested in
reading and writing poetry during his high school years in
the town of Lawrence, Massachusetts. His first professional
poem, "The Butterfly," was published on November
