For this final poetry discussion in the “Dead Poets” series, we’ll discuss passages from Walt Whitman’s Crossing Brooklyn Ferry.
We will also wonder at Whitman’s posited vision of — and for — America, and further, contemplate his claim to be, “uniter of here and hereafter.” Please register online.
This program is, of course, inspired by our 2023 SaratogaREADS! Selection: The Soul of America: The Battle for Our Better Angels by John Meacham.
