We invite members of the public to join us and read a section of Walt Whitman’s Masterpiece, “Song of Myself,” at this festival opening night event.  

This is part of the multi-venue, 12-day Walt Whitman 200 Festival, celebrating the 200th anniversary of the birth of one of America’s most significant and enduring poets, who was a resident of Washington, DC for ten years during and after the Civil War.
