Walt Whitman was born in West Hills, New York, in 1819. He was a famous American poet, writer, and journalist. "Leaves of Grass," a book of poems he wrote, is his best-known work. It is considered a masterpiece of American writing. But Whitman's work as a writer of prose is just as good, and it is often ignored. The Complete Prose Works of Walt Whitman is a collection of his thoughts, letters, and articles for newspapers and magazines. His writing has a loose, casual, and conversational tone, which shows that he thinks literature should be open to everyone. His work is about many different things, like politics, nature, art, and society. Whitman's writing style is also marked by the way he uses lists, repetition, and strange language, all of which were used by modernist writers before them. He wrote a lot, and his books and journalism had a big impact on American writing.
