An All-Night Reading of Whitman's Song of Myself
Join the School of Radical Attention for a celebration of one of the oldest human technologies: lyric poetry. On May 30th, we'll best hosting an overnight collective recitation of Walt Whitman's Song of Myself — a rapturous ode to the possibilities of pluralistic democratic life. How can the simple act of reading verse aloud bring us together? What kind of world can this create?
We'll convene at 8pm, start reading aloud at 8:30pm, and go straight through to the early morning. Bring a copy of Leaves of Grass, if you have it — though we'll provide if you don't.
