An Evening With Walt Whitman
<p>On Saturday, October 27th, at 7 pm in the Sanctuary, we will mark the first anniversary in our new building by hosting two of Iowa City’s most eminent literary figures in an evening devoted to Walt Whitman’s <em>Song of Myself</em>.</p><p>*Internationally-renowned Whitman scholar, <strong>Ed Folsom is the UI’s Roy J. Carver Professor of English</strong>, editor of the Whitman Quarterly Review, and co-director of the online Whitman Archive. </p><p>*<strong>Christopher Merrill is Director of the UI’s International Writing Program</strong> and an award-winning poet, an accomplished editor and translator, and the author of six books of nonfiction including <em>Things of the Hidden God: Journey to the Holy Mountain</em>. Locally, he led the initiative that resulted in Iowa City’s selection as a UNESCO City of Literature. </p><p>Together, they taught <u>Massive Online Open Courses </u>(MOOCs) on Whitman’s <em>Song of Myself </em>and <em>Whitman’s Civil War</em> and published a definitive edition of<em> Song of Myself </em>containing their detailed commentary on the poem. Ed and Chris will discuss <em> Song of Myself, </em> Whitman’s recently discovered <em>lost novel,</em> and the poet’s connections to Unitarianism and Universalism. </p><p>There will be opportunity for a Q&A. Refreshments will be served before the presentation. Then stay for book signing, conversation, cake and coffee afterward.
