In 1856 it was called «A Poem of Walt Whitman, an American» and in 1860 it was simply termed «Walt Whitman.» Walter «Walt» Whitman (1819 – 1892) was an American poet, essayist and journalist. His work was very controversial in its time, particularly his poetry collection Leaves of Grass, which was described as obscene for its overt sexuality.
