What Neruda Owes Whitman - May 19th - Brooklyn Public Library
Near New York?
Once again at the wonderful Brooklyn Public Library, near where Walt Whitman stepped off that Brooklyn Ferry...
thrilled and honored to be a part of their Whitman bi-centennial celebrations, giving a 9 minute "lightening lecture" on Pablo's relationship to Walt, "These Whitman 200th Anniversary "lightning lectures" examine the vast scope of Whitman's legacy on poetry in the 20th century and beyond, and explore critically and swiftly where his vision and style came from." Besides myself there will be scholar Karen Karbiener on the moment Whitman became a poet, scholar Matt Miller on Whitman's creative process, Jesse Merandy on Whitman and an app of Whitman's Brooklyn, and musician Greg Trupiano on Whitman and opera, among others.

And in conjunction, we've released a (rough) classic clip of two great people poet's themselves talking about Neruda and Whitman, an interview of Lawrence Ferlinghetti and Jack Hirschman we taped for the Neruda documentary in 2010, in the poetry room of City Lights Bookstore (which Lawrence founded): https://vimeo.com/redpoppy/cl-litquake
That whole interview definitely helped inform some important parts of Neruda: The Biography of a Poet... some of the lines are quoted in its pages...
