That's probably because Emerson isn't even a 20th century poet dumbass

The answer is Walt Whitman and anyone who doesn't think so either hasn't read him or isn't smart. Usually questions like "greatest blank of all time" are pointless and unanswerable but Whitman is simply the American writer, period.
