“An American poet, essayist and journalist, Whitman is often called the father of free verse. Born on Long Island in 1819, his family moved to Brooklyn when he was four years old. As an adult, in addition to writing poems, he worked as a journalist, a teacher, a clerk and a printer. During the Civil War, he was an army nurse. In 1855, Whitman published his masterpiece Leaves of Grass, a work of startling sensuality, insight and openness. A controversial work for its expression of sexuality and homosexuality, it is now considered one of the greatest works of American literature.”

“Auden’s ‘September 1, 1939’ become an essential—even prophetic—poem after 9/11 when New Yorkers grieved the sudden loss of nearly three thousand citizens,” as Adam Gopnick wrote in the New Yorker. “At the beginning of the new century, he is an indispensable poet. Even people who don’t read poems often turn to poetry at moments when it matters, and Auden matters now.” This poem and many others will be read and discussed.
