Join artist Nicholas Buffon for an onsite tour of his exhibition Gay New York: Walt Whitman to the Present. This exhibition of new work from Buffon is a poetic survey of LGBTQ sites where community is built. Traveling among landmarks, venues, and bars—from Zoe Leonard’s High Line poem installation “I want a President” to the deli that once housed Whitman’s favorite bar to the Stonewall Inn—Gay New York pays tribute to LGBTQ contributions to poetry and the arts in NYC and beyond. Admission is free and open to the public. Poets House is an ADA-accessible facility.
