I choose Whitman because everybody else chose Dickinson. LOL. No the real reason I chose him over her is because he's real and somewhat rebellious. For example in Song of the Open Road, he was telling everybody to stop listening to the teachers, stop reading, come with me, we about to get it in. I like that about him. He had an "I don't give care" attitude. Dickinson is so depressing and sad. Her poems weren't even supposed to get published. So yea Whitman is better in my opinion.
Ciera.
I forgot all about her poems not suposing to be published. But Whitman was better. I agree!
