In Paths Untrodden:
Walt Whitman's Calamus Poems and the Radical Faeries

March 1 – May 19, 2011
San Francisco Main Library
James C. Hormel Gay & Lesbian Center, Main Library, Third Floor

2010 was the 150th anniversary of the first publication of Walt Whitman's homo-affectional poem cluster Calamus. This exhibition explores the influence Whitman and the Calamus poems had on the earliest GLBT freedom pioneers. It traces out some of the qualities Whitman ascribed to the "love of comrades" and the spiritual and political roles he saw it playing in the larger project of the creation of "America". Whitman and his poem's continuing influence on visionary Queer/Gay consciousness is surveyed through images and documents from the contemporary Gay men's political/spiritual movement The Radical Fairies.

The exhibition is curated by Joey Cain.
