Stephen Collins / Unlaunch’d Voices (at Amazing Things)

Unlaunch’d Voices, an Afternoon With Walt Whitman opens with the elderly Whitman on the evening of his seventieth birthday. The audience is a visitor in his room as he prepares for his birthday celebration. Whitman begins to reminisce and to question his success as a man and a poet. He tells us his work has proved to be “less than a failure….” He remembers a mystical experience he had in his thirty-seventh year that inspired him to write poetry. Amazing Things Arts Center, 160 Hollis St., Framingham. Tickets: $15 ($12 Members; $14 Students/Seniors)
