Considered one of America's most influential poets, Whitman aimed to transcend traditional epics and eschew normal aesthetic form to mirror the potential freedoms to be found in America. In 1855 he self-published the collection Leaves of Grass; the book is now a landmark in American literature, though at the time of its publication it was considered highly controversial. Whitman later worked as a volunteer nurse during the Civil War, writing the collection Drum Taps (1865) in connection to the experiences of war-torn soldiers. Having continued to produce new editions of Leaves of Grass along with original works, Whitman died on March 26, 1892 in Camden, New Jersey. #Biography Subscribe for more Biography Delve deeper into Biography on our site Follow Biography for more surprising stories from fascinating lives: Facebook - Instagram - Twitter - Biography.com captures the most gripping, surprising, and fascinating stories about famous people: The biggest break.
