Details
Join Robert F. Barsky, a Guggenheim Fellow and author of The Beltline Chronicles, for a poetic tour of the Atlanta Beltline. As we walk past Atlanta landmarks, we will reflect on prominent authors such as Toni Morrison, James Baldwin, and Richard Wright, along with iconic questing characters like Ulysses, Dante the Pilgrim, Lord Byron, Frankenstein's monster, Alice in Wonderland, Sonia Delaunay, and Blaise Cendrars. The combination of literary and physical journeys offers a fresh perspective on what the Beltline means for Atlanta's residents and visitors. We hope you can join!
