Whitman Alabama is a series of videos that feature Alabama citizens, selected from around the state, reading portions of Walt Whitman’s Song of Myself.In the class, we will view each performance, explore the poetry, and discuss how both work as expression and art. Song of Myself is probably the most all-encompassing poem ever written about American identity. Join us as we explore how contemporary Alabamians interact with the genius of Walt Whitman.
