Walt Whitman
"I Contain Multitudes":
A Celebration of Walt Whitman, With
Galway Kinnell, Martín Espada, and Kate Rushin
Tuesday, Dec. 2, 2003
Wright Hall Auditorium, 7:30pm
Three dynamic voices celebrated Walt Whitman, read favorite passages of his work, as well as their own poems, and spoke about his profound influence on poets writing in both English and Spanish.
Galway Kinnell has been a major figure in American poetry for three decades. His Selected Poems was awarded both the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award. In his introduction to The Essential Whitman, Kinnell acknowledges Whitman as his "principal master," and critics have noted Kinnell's Whitmanesque cadences, transcendental philosophy, and personal intensity.
