Walt Whitman spent four years learning the printing trade; Emily Dickinson returned home after receiving schooling to be with her family and never really had a job. Walt Whitman
spent most of his time observing people and New York City. Dickinson rarely left her house and she didnt associate with many people other than her family. In this essay I will be comparing Emily Dickinson and Walt Whitman. Emily Dickinsons life differs greatly from the life of Walt Whitman, although they lived during the same time period. Walt Whitman published practically all his poetry during his lifetime, but Emily Dickinson only published seven of her poems during her lifetime. ... Both Whitman
and Dickinson were poetic pioneers because of the new ideas they used in their poetry. Emily Dickinson did not write for an audience, but Walt Whitman wrote for an audience about several national events. ... The rhyme in the poetry by Whitman is drastically different from the poetry written by Dickinson, because
Whitman didnt use any rhyme. Emily Dickinson grew up in Amherst, Mass, and Walt Whitman grew up in New York City, New York; this is one way that these poets lives differ. The main person that influenced Emily Dickinson was Ralph Waldo Emerson. Walt Whitman was influenced by many people, some of which were: Elias Hicks, James
McPherson and William Shakespeare. Whitman read many book reviews by many people; from these, he realized Emerson was very influential.
