Love him. Highly artistic. One would have liked to watch him eat acorns
Homosexual racist, dislike him out of principle.
The best honestly. Everyone before Whitman was just leading up to him, everyone after him was trying to be him.
Walt, Ginsberg and Eliot were the greatest American poets of all time, but Walt has the distinction of also being the greatest poet in English.

One of these is not like the others...
...and by that, I mean one of these is not good. In fact, I mean one of these is atrocious and I have no idea why you included him.

DUDE METH LMAO
They are alive and well somewhere;
The smallest sprout shows there is really no death;
And if ever there was, it led forward life, and does not wait at the end to arrest it,
And ceas’d the moment life appear’d.
All goes onward and outward—nothing collapses;
And to die is different from what any one supposed, and luckier.

What a crock of shit.
he was trash and he ruined poetry
I haven't read much of his poetry, but I really liked the last section of Song of Myself.
