“Do I contradict myself?
Very well then I contradict myself,
(I am large, I contain multitudes.)”
“Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul"
“I became insane, with long intervals of horrible sanity.”
Walt Whitman
Walter Whitman was born May 31, 1819, in West Hills, Long Island, New York. Whitman was a poet, journalist, and essayist during the period known as American Romanticism. At the age of 12, Whitman started working as a printer, until he took up journalism as a profession, and eventually became an editor. During this time, he published the first edition of his book Leaves of Grass, which would eventually have 9 editions, as he kept editing, adding, and refining the poems in it.

Emily Dickinson
Emily Elizabeth Dickinson was born on December 10, 1830, in Amherst, Massachusetts. Dickinson is considered to be one of the two leading poets of American Romanticism, along with Walt Whitman. Dickinson lived a very secluded life; most of her social interactions were in the letters she sent to friends and colleagues, in which she cultivated her love of literature and writing. Only 10 of the nearly 1,800 poems she wrote in her were published during her lifetime, while the rest were kept private in hand-sewn books, or in letters to friends and colleagues.

Edgar Allan Poe
Edgar Allan Poe was born on January 19, 1809, in Boston, Massachusetts. Poe was a short story writer, literary critic, editor, and poet, best known for his stories and poems, which explored horror, the macabre, melancholy, and the complex forces that motivate our behavior. As part of the "dark" Romanticism, he focused on emotion, the individual, nature, and the unusual. In his life, Poe was plagued by misery, having lost his mother at a young age, a tense relationship with his father, economic hardship, and a lifelong struggle with alcoholism.
