Born in 1819, Walt Whitman is considered the greatest American poet of the 19th century. To celebrate Whitman’s bicentenary, this exhibition examines his life and work in the context of the era in which he lived, exploring Whitman’s influence on American life, culture and other writers through his time to the present.
If you are searching for Whitman-related events in the the New York area, please also check the Walt Whitman Birthplace website (we highly recommend the tours of the house Whitman Sr. built and Walt lived in for his first four years) and the Whitman House in Camden, NJ (step inside Walt’s home for his last decade).
