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.
The Providence Athenaeum will host a portion of the exhibition Walt Whitman: The Poet of the Body, which was on view at the Grolier Club in New York from May – July 2019. The display at the Athenaeum will celebrate the history of Leaves of Grass, featuring the Athenaeum’s rare first edition inscribed by Whitman along with items from the extraordinary private Walt Whitman collection of Susan Jaffe Tane.
