Walt Whitman at Emory
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Emory’s been bringing in some interesting folks lately — Salman Rushdie, the Dalai Lama — but even Whitman would be a tall order. What they have, though, is a first edition of his “Leaves of Grass,” which is the centerpiece of a large display of rare first editions and other notable volumes of poetrythe .
The exhibit is called “Democratic Vistas: Exploring the Raymond Danowski Poetry Library.” It’s running through May 26 at the Schatten Gallery of the university’s Robert W. Woodruff Library.
Also on display:
One of 11 known copies of William Carlos Williams’ first book, Poems (1909), which was never reprinted;
A first edition of T. S. Eliot’s “Prufrock and Other Observations,” inscribed to his close friend Emily Hale;
Limited editions by Langston Hughes, with corrections in his own hand;
Anne Sexton’s personal, heavily annotated copy of Sylvia Plath’s “Ariel” (1965);
Significant items from the author collections of W.H. Auden, Amiri Baraka (LeRoi Jones), Ted Berrigan, Gwendolyn Brooks, Hughes and Ezra Pound.
