In this composition I`d like to tell you about my favorite American poet Walt Whitman. He wrote many books of poetry e.g. "I hear America singing", "What is the grass?" "There was a child wenth forth". When W. Witman`s first book of poetry "Leaves of grass" was appeared in1855, it drew mix reviews.

Walt Witman celebrates the American people and their work. He celebrated the spirit of growing nation, and he celebrated the wonder of life itself.

Although Witman was a romantic at heart, his poetry did not fit the mold of other romantic writers. Inmy opinion if he was alive he would update his poem about American people and add to his list of working American e.g. an astronaut, a businessman, a manager, a disigner etc.

Walt Witman always used many poetic techniques, one of them is symbolism. I know about it a little, but I`d like to tell you about this aspect what I know. Poetry can be meaningful on both a literal level. Symbolism is the use of a concrete object to represent an abstract quality concept.

I have a question. What attitude to death do you have?

In the poem "What is the grass?" he writes: "I wish I could translate the hints about the dead young men and women,

And the hints about old men and mothers

And the offspring taken soon out of their laps.

The smallest sprout shows there is really no death.

And to die is different from what anyone supposed and Luckier."

I like his position, and I think that there is really no death.

W. Witman died 1892 when he was 73. But in hearts of those who like his poems he always be alive.
