Arguably the two most significant American poets of the nineteenth century — and in the nation’s literary tradition more generally — Walt Whitman (1819-1892) and Emily Dickinson (1830-1886) will be the focus of Mark Schenker’s two session program this spring.

This special event will honor Norm’s legacy through performance and poetry, including a reading of Thornton Wilder’s one-act “The Happy Journey from Trenton to Camden,” poetry that resonated with him, and excerpts from his solo show about the abolitionist John Brown, “John Brown: Tribute to Freedom.”
