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).

If you have an event you’d like to list with us, please let us know: waltwhitmaninitiaitve@gmail.com.

 Join us as we plumb the depths of Walt Whitman’s darker side. Bring a flashlight, lantern, or candle and walking shoes to be part of our roving, after-dark group reading of Whitman’s long night poem “The Sleepers” (1891/1892 Deathbed ed. of Leaves of Grass). Event starts outside High Street subway stop on Cadman Plaza West at 8:20 pm.  Rain location: St. Francis College (180 Remsen St.).  Contact ian@waltwhitmaninitiative.org and brad@waltwhitmaninitiative.org to be a reader.

*Event involves traipsing around in the dark to multiple sites, uneven terrain.
