Bruce Noll, May 10, 3:00pm, LSC-Montgomery

PURE GRASS is a dramatic program created by Bruce Noll. The program is composed entirely of excerpts from Whitman's Leaves of Grass and weaves together many of the poet's themes. Since the first performance in 1970, PURE GRASS has undergone many changes but Noll always strives to represent the spirit of Walt Whitman in his oral interpretation of this timeless work of literature. Bruce Noll is a poet and professor of education who has presented Whitman's poetry from Hawaii to Iceland for more than 30 years. http://www.unm.edu/~banoll/
