The Walt Whitman Initiative’s annual “Song of Myself” Marathon is an open public reading of Walt Whitman’s celebrated poem.
Readers volunteer to recite the 52 sections of “Song of Myself”, often personalizing their reading with an interpretation through song, dance, translation into different languages, musical accompaniment, or other original means. Interested in reading? Stay tuned for registration!
The 52 sections are performed sequentially without an intermission. Audience attendees are invited to sit on the Granite Prospect steps facing readers, while enjoying views of Manhattan Bridge, the Brooklyn Bridge and East River.
