For Emily Dickinson 2. The biography in the lesson states that "Though she was dissuaded from reading the verse of her contemporary Walt Whitman by rumors of its disgracefulness, the two poets are now connected by the distinguished place they hold as the founders of a uniquely American poetic voice." How does Dickinson's poetry, like Whitman's, seem different from other poetry you've studied, especially from other countries and earlier periods? Give at least two examples from the poems in the lesson to support your answer.
