Walt Whitman, Angela De Hoyas, Langston Hughes
Walt whitman, Angela De Hoyas, Langston Hughes. All great authors of many great poems. Wonder how they stack up against each other? Well that’s what’s going to happen. How do all three of these poets are different an alike. Three people, three different types of pens. Three different types of handwriting. Walter (Walt) whitman is an american poet, essayist, and a journalist. A humanist, he was a part of the transition between transcendentalism and realism, incorporating both views in his works. Was born May 13th, 1819. Lived in Brooklyn and Long Island in the 1820s and 1830s. Whitman spent his declining years working on additions and revisions to a new edition of the book and preparing his final volume of poems and prose, Good-Bye, My
Fancy (David McKay, 1891). After his death on March 26, 1892, Whitman was buried in a tomb he designed and had built on a lot in Harleigh Cemetery. Angela De Hoyas born in the state of Coahuila, Mexico. Her father owned a dry-cleaning establishment, and her mother was a talented matriarch with an artistic penchant she sought to instill in her daughter. The poet's early childhood was a traumatic one because at the age of three she was burned on the neck and chest by a gas heater and suffered a long convalescence. Smoke inhalation caused further complications, forcing her to spend many months in bed where she began an interior monologue of rhymes and verses to entertain herself and to draw attention away from the pain. James Mercer Langston Hughes was born February 1, 1902, in Joplin, Missouri. His parents divorced when he was a young child, and his father moved to Mexico. He was raised by his grandmother until he was thirteen, when he moved to Lincoln, Illinois, to live with his mother and her husband, before the family eventually settled in Cleveland, Ohio. It was in Lincoln that Hughes began writing poetry. After graduating from high school, he spent a year in Mexico followed by a year at Columbia University in New York City. During this time, he held odd jobs such as assistant cook, launderer, and busboy. All Three great poets. Different come ups, but that doesn’t stop them from making history. Many well known poems were made from them. All from the Harlem renaissance era. Chosen by themselves. Their americans that can hear america singing. These three out of many harlem renaissance poets made it lovely.
