Love is a Place: A Poet's Walk of Greenwich Village

The Poet E. E. Cummings wrote that “love is a place.”

Perhaps he meant 4 Patchin Place, in Greenwich Village, where he lived from 1924-1962.

Cummings was certainly not the only poet to live in Greenwich Village, and not even the only poet to live on Patchin Place.

In this walking tour of Greenwich Village, we’ll discover the homes and haunts of more than a century of poets who called the neighborhood home. Along the way we’ll meet symbolists and modernists, 19th century salon hostesses and 20th century raconteurs, Pulitzer prize winners and prophets, feminist luminaries and queer pioneers whose words enriched, and even defined, American life.
