    Emily Dickinson & Walt Whitman were both poets of the nineteenth century that both captured their readers by their unique style of writing. Dickinson grew up in a wealthy family where her father and grandfather were lawyers. Although they were very outspoken, she was very introverted and put words to paper. Her lifestyle led to her writing poetry, in letters to friends, cards sent to loved ones but none of her work was seen by the world and recognized in its greatness until after her death when her poems had been discovered by family. Walt Whitman on the other hand was born into a family of hard workers and as he got older they expected him to work. His father was a home builder, and at the age of twelve, Whitman landed his first job as a printer. This became the start of his first love, working with words he became a master of poetry. Unlike Dickinson, he spent many years working to get his work published and finally his work became something that was revised over and over again to his perfection. Life experiences and family tragedies had a part to play in his poetry writings and eventually his poetry collection got longer and longer.…

    Walt Whitman and Emily Dickinson both had different and similar views, which influenced how they wrote their poetry. Their social context, life experiences, and gender are reflected in their poetry. Emily Dickinson focused a lot on death and her struggles of being a woman during her time. Her poems often described the inner state of mind. Waltman attempted to combine universal themes with individual feelings and experiences, such as his personal experiences with the Civil War. Whitman and Dickinson are two great poets who both were very similar but different in more ways than one, and they were both very influenced by who they were, and their life experience. Their poems were both “small in theme yet has it the sweep of the universe.”…
