END OF JUNE 2020 LECTURE
WALT WHITMAN
BOOKING OPEN NOW
RECORDING RELEASED 25 JUNE
Walt Whitman is my next recorded lecture. I have written about Whitman on the Event page at https://www.grahamfawcett.co.uk/event/walt-whitman where you can also book.
There are now two Buy Now buttons on that page, green for £GBP and blue for $USD.
The Walt Whitman lecture replaces my third Sutton House lecture of six in the 2020 series, on Pushkin – which will be given ‘live’ in the future.
Your booking for Whitman will be acknowledged promptly. I will be sending all bookers the link to the Whitman recording during the day on June 25.
The Whitman lecture recording will also be bookable, in the same way, after June 25.

NEW WEBSITE FEATURES ON WALT WHITMAN EVENT PAGE
As indicated above, we have now added two new buttons: a blue Buy Now button for US dollars, alongside the green one for ££s, in response to a request from across the Pond.
Lower down the page, you will also find a Donate button, which is in response to another request to donate to my poetry work.
AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION
I am waiting for my housing association to approve the installation of Virgin Media broadband at my house. Once this has been done, I intend to open future lectures up to the audience in sound and, with any luck technically, add the option of the audience choosing (if they wish) to be in vision too, for a Q&A at the end.
