Song of myself
Song of Myself

Walt Whitman: most of us read him in high school not realizing the depth of his contribution, the profoundness of his message, his startling and erotic images. In this time of division, red states and blue states, Whitman stands out as the voice of unity.
Whitman was poetry slamming when Victorians were making prissy couplets and playing hymns on the organ. He was the "Original Gangster," self-published and censored, homo-erotic, feminist, abolitionist, one of this country's greatest activists yet all embracing, all loving, America's avatar. "Simply put, "Song of Myself' is a poetic and dramatic tour de force ... a rare joy to witness." - Todd Carlstro, nytheatre.com "It's the sort of event that makes you wonder, after sitting through it, how you ever lived without it. - Michael Feingold, Village Voice
