SUMMARY:Tactile Poetry with Christina M. Rau – Walt Whitman Birthplace
DESCRIPTION:Feel the power of words in a whole new way during an interactive Tactile Poetry event with poet Christina M. Rau at the Walt Whitman Birthplace. \nDiscover ways to create poetry using more than your typical tools.

A typewriter will also be available for limited use.\nLed by poet Christina M. Rau, this hands-on evening is open to adults, teens and accompanied children. Whether you are a longtime poetry lover or simply curious to try something new, the program offers a creative way to experience poetry beyond the page.\nThursday, September 24, 2026\n6:00 PM – 8:00 PM\nWalt Whitman Birthplace\n246 Old Walt Whitman Road\nHuntington Station, NY 11746\nCost: $20 members / $25 non-members \nRegistration: CLICK HERE ( https://www.eventbrite.com/e/tactile-poetry-tickets-1992511477466 )\nPresented by the Walt Whitman Birthplace Association and featuring poet Christina M.
