Walt Whitman was claimed as America's first "poet of democracy" and he was so in love with his country so to write verse like this one: "The proof of a poet is that his country absorbs him as affectionately as he has absorbed it”.
Whitman’s first works are the poetry collection “Leaves of grass” and the famous hymn he wrote after Lincoln’s murder “Oh Captain! My Captain” in 1865, that we are sure you know better because of the iconic scene in the Dead Poet Society movie, starred by the beloved Robin Williams.

Another important personality in the American poetry landscape is Ogden Nash, well known for its light verse. Father of an unconventional humorous poetry, he was respected in the community of poets and was very appreciated to be an innovator in the field. When he was not involved in writing, he was used to made guest appearances on comedy and radio shows and travel abroad, visiting school and colleges where he read its poems. His rhyming schemes was very unusual and he often put in his verses misspelled words so to create comic effects.
