Join the American Printing History Association Conference Closing Keynote featuring Michael B. Winship as he presents "Walt Whitman Makes Weird: Producing the 1855 First Edition of Leaves of Grass." This conference, held at the prestigious Harry Ransom Center in Austin, Texas, on October 14, 2023, will delve into the fascinating story behind the creation of Walt Whitman's groundbreaking collection of poetry. Renowned poet Ralph Waldo Emerson described Leaves of Grass as "the most extraordinary piece of wit and wisdom that America has yet contributed," recognizing its significance at the beginning of Whitman's illustrious career. But it's not just the powerful words that capture attention; the physical book itself stands apart from any other volume of poetry from its time. Through a combination of new and old research, Michael Winship will uncover the unique production process and what makes this book so peculiar. As the Iris Howard Regents Professor Emeritus of English at the University of Texas at Austin, Winship is a leading figure in bibliographic and book history studies, with a particular focus on American literary publishing. In addition to Winship's keynote, conference attendees will have the opportunity to explore the city's vibrant book culture, with tours of the Harry Ransom Center's exhibit, "The Long Lives of Very Old Books," and visits to the Austin Book Arts Center, the Blanton Museum of Art, the Dolph Briscoe Center for American History, and the Benson Latin American Collection. Don't miss this chance to immerse yourself in the rich history of American printing and bookmaking. Register for the conference at https://printinghistory.org/2023-conference/.

As a regular tourist thought the process of entering the Parliament House was very cumbersome, but I didn&#39;t expect to check the bag I took with me to visit. Built in 1885, the building covers 51 acres and was designed by architects modeled on the Capitol in Washington, DC, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1970 and was named a National Historic Landmark in 1986. Amazing the passing of the world does not affect its appearance and internal structure, as always brand new, visitors can visit the government office, have time to visit around the building outside, from all angles to enjoy the century-old building.
