Ahumanist, he was a part of the transition betweentranscendentalismandrealism, incorporating both views in his works. Whitman isamong the most influential poets in the American canon, often called the fatheroffree verse.His work was controversial in its time,particularly his poetry collectionLeaves of Grass, which was described as obscene for itsovert sensuality. Whitman's own life came under scrutiny for his presumedhomosexuality. Born inHuntingtononLong Island, as a child and through much of his career heresided inBrooklyn. At age 11, he left formalschooling to go to work. Later, Whitman worked as a journalist, a teacher, anda government clerk. Whitman's major poetry collection,Leaves of Grass,was first published in 1855 with his own money and became well known.
