Walt Whitman was a poet and journalist. He was born on Long Island, New York in 1819. He also worked as a teacher, and during the Civil War, volunteered as a nurse. His poetry is still studied in high schools and colleges around the country. Emily Dickinson is famous for her poetry. She was born in Massachusetts in 1830. Over the course of her life, Dickinson wrote close to 1,800 poems, though fewer than a dozen were published while she was still living.
