I Hear America Singing is a poem written by Walt Whitman, who was an American poet, essayist and journalist. He was in the period of the transition of transcendentalism and realism, and his works were incorporated with both views. Meanwhile, Whitman was the father of free verse. I Hear America Singing was published in 1860, in which Whitman depicted a concert of his fellow Americans.

This poem is in \(\Large\color{violet}{Free~Verse}\) form, which means there is no rhyme or a fixed rhythm. However, this poem showed Whitman's praise to democracy with impressive repetition and a wide range of characters, ranging from mechanics to shoemaker, from carpenter to mother. All of them were singing his or her own song. In this poem, the poet not only mentioned the job of different people, but also roughly introduced what they actually did about their jobs. From the depiction, we can see that all these workers, no matter what job they were undertaking, came together as a part of the whole society, pushing the whole society forward, and the country was in harmony, because everyone had their job to do.

Answer 5

The poem "I, Too" is also known as "I, Too, Sing America," and was initially titled "Epilogue" when it appeared in The Weary Blues, the 1926 volume of Langston Hughes's poetry. It has been anthologized repeatedly and scholars have written about it many times. It is written in \(\Large\color{violet}{Free~Verse}\) and features short lines and simple language.
