From a Library to Walt Whitman to Ancient Egypt to Today — a Full Circle.

As noted by many, 2019 is the 200th anniversary of the birth of Walt Whitman. His words are alive and well as evidenced in the many works on view in the exhibition entitled Walt Whitman’s Words: Inspiring Artists Today held at the Center for Book Arts in New York. The exhibition shines a light on how Whitman continues to influence artists through his writings on many topics that resonate today from democracy to immigration.
