Walt-A-Palooza!


From the New York Times:
As a premise for a free outdoor music and poetry festival, Walt Whitman is easy to like. The seminal literary figure and onetime editor of the Brooklyn Eagle, once dubbed "America's poet" by Ezra Pound, will get an all-star tribute in his own former backyard on Thursday when dozens of artists, rockers and writers convene in the new Brooklyn Bridge Park for an evening-long Walt-a-palooza called "I Do Not Doubt I am Limitless: Walt Whitman's Brooklyn."
