Date/Time

Pejepscot History Center

Join Karin Dillman to discuss three 19th & 20th Century poems by Dickinson, Whitman, and Wm. Carlos Williams, poets as different from one another than as we are from them now.  We will focus on the differences and share how each poem speaks to us as 21st century readers.   Are their poems still relevant to us today?

Poems:
Dickinson, “Exultation is the going”
Whitman, “Dalliance of the Eagles”
Wm. Carlos Williams, “Red Wheelbarrow”

Refreshments will be available.
