Best Answer

Walt Whitman wrote in a very bold and erotic style that was unusual for his time. His descriptive literature got him fired from his government job, and his prose was accused of violating Christian sensibilities. His classic "Leaves of Grass" was considered obscene for its open treatment of sexuality and homoerotic overtones.
