American poetry, unlike the poetry of other nations, is still in the nascent stage due to the absence of a history compared to the poetry of other nations that hums of mature voices. However, in the last century, American poetry has received the recognition it deserves thanks to the creative poetic compositions of Walt Whitman, who has been called “the father of American poetry.” His dynamic style and unusual content are well displayed in his famous poem "Song of Myself", which gives direction to American writers of posterity. Furthermore, his distinct use of line and breath has made a great impression on the compositions of numerous poets, especially on the works of modern poet Allen Ginsberg, whose questionable poem "Howl" resonates with Whitman's poet traits. poetry. However, while the form and content of “Howl” may have been influenced by “Song of Myself,” Ginsberg's poem expresses a change from Whitman's use of verse, his first-person recitation, and his vision of America. Because Whitman's continuous lines are open, expressing the voice of a universal speaker who presents a positive vision of America, Ginsberg's poetry, in contrast, uses long lines that end inward to present the discomfort and madness that they characterize the vision of America that Ginsberg exhibits through the voice of a prophetic speaker. Comparing Whitman's “Song of Myself” to Ginsberg's “Howl,” both poets' use of verse is similar: long free verse. It wasn't a popular trend when Ginsberg wrote “Howl,” but he used it on purpose, taking inspiration from Whitman's poetry. Look at the long sentence in Whitman's verse: “Swift through space,…fast through the sky and stars, […] storming enjoying planning lovingly warning,/ Support and filling,……in the center of the paper……erg's the lines are inwards. Whitman's self is all-encompassing, but Ginsberg's self is passive, lacking diversity, and excluding rural environments. In short, Ginsberg's Howl” is a journey through a different road to reality by leaving doubts behind and taking on the leading role of an American public poet-prophet, which Whitman had only dreamed of in his life composing poems for an imaginary audience.
