Lynn Domina, author of several full length collections of poetry and Professor of English at Northern Michigan University, will discuss thematic and stylistic connections between Theodore Roethke and Walt Whitman.
This talk is part of the Roethke & ... Virtual Series in which contemporary poets and scholars discuss Roethke's influence on their own work and on other poets, past & present. This series was inspired by presentations given at the Society for the Study of Midwestern Literature 2025 Symposium. All events are via Zoom & begin at 7pm EST. Hosted by John Rohrkemper.

The Roethke Foundation is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization in Saginaw, MI, and donations of any size are appreciated.
