There's never been a better time to support the Walt Whitman Archive. Please consider making a donation.
The New York-based Walt Whitman Initiative has released a call for applications for the Susan Jaffe Tane Fellowship, which will be awarded to an undergraduate or graduate student pursuing innovative research on Whitman and his enduring cultural legacy. More information can be found here. Applications are due by May 31, 2026.
Stefan Schöberlein and Zachary Turpin, members of the Whitman Archive's journalism team, have recently published Whitman's Southern Sojourn: Rediscovering the Poet in New Orleans, 1848 as part of the Iowa Whitman Series at University of Iowa Press. We deeply appreciate their decision to donate all royalties to the ongoing work of the Whitman Archive.
