Walt Whitman's motivation to be a poet stemmed from his desire to capture the essence of American life and democracy in his writing. He aimed to express the diversity, individuality, and interconnectedness of the American experience through his poetry, helping to create a national cultural identity. Whitman viewed poetry as a tool for social progress and as a way to connect with and elevate the human spirit.
Whitman didn't decide to become a poet until the early 1850s, when he was in his 30s. Before that, he was a journalist.
