AB This research paper examines the rhetorical devices used in Walt Whitman's (1819-1892)early, mid and late poetry career. The aim of this study is to demonstrate the poetic revolutionhe started with the publication of the 1855 edition of Leaves of Grass and his retreat towards a more traditional poetry a few decades later. For this purpose, I analyze the 1855 poems “ASong for Occupations” and “Great are the Myths” from Whitman´s early poetry career and the1881 revised version of “Out of the Cradle Endlessly Rocking” (1859) and “When Lilacs Lastin the Dooryard Bloom'd” (1865) and the 1871 revised version of “O Captain! My Captain!”(1865) from his mid-late poetry career to demonstrate that there is a perceptible change in hisuse of tropes and schemes related to his poetics in those periods.
