Greetings everyone. This is James P. Wagner, the Convention Chair for the Walt Whitman Bicentennial Celebration.
I'm more than happy to be announcing that we've partnered with the Walt Whitman Birthplace State Historic Site in Huntington, NY as well as the nearby Residence Inn by Marriott hotel in Plainview, NY to put together what will be a weekend to remember. A one of a kind event (until the tricentennial, but I personally don't think I'll be around for that one!) to celebrate one of the greatest poets our nation has ever seen--as well as to celebrate poetry in general.
What's more than that, is many poets from all over the country have never had the chance to see the place where Walt Whitman was born, or the museum that now sits on the property. With poets and poetry fans coming from all over, the Residence Inn will provide great space for vendors, workshops, and readings, (as well as necessary lodgings) and the Birthplace will provide the history and environment to enjoy the place where Whitman himself came onto this Earth.
We know it will be a very special weekend, and we're looking forward to seeing you all there!
