“I am with you,” Walt Whitman pledged in “Crossing Brooklyn Ferry”. For this year’s Brooklyn Book Festival, performer Todd Blakesley sees to it that Brooklyn’s Literary Grandfather is true to his words! Meet Whitman’s modern-day incarnation, who will recite favorite poems and discuss the connections between his turbulent times and our own. This historic encounter will be hosted in the Walt Whitman Initiative’s Tane Poetry Library.
