WALT WHITMAN LEAVES OF GRASS MARATHON READING

Fabiano Garden next to the Park Library - CMU

Fabiano Garden next to the Park Library - CMU

  • Bring a blanket and come for an hour or two, or all day long, as (beginning at sunrise!) We read the Deathbed Edition of Whitman’s classic, Leaves of Grass in the beautiful Fabiano Botanical Garden on CMU’s campus adjacent to Park Library. 
  • All are welcome to come take turns with others reading, or just lay back on the grass and listen and enjoy. 
  • Bring a copy of Leaves of Grass if you have one—or it's available for free online, and I'll have extra copies!—a blanket or lawn chair, and join us.
