American artists such as Marsden Hartley and Georgia O’Keeffe echoed writers who were responding to European innovations by crafting their own landmark contributions to Modernism. This reading, presented by Goodman Theatre actors, features works by T.S. Eliot, Mina Loy, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Ernest Hemingway, E. E. Cummings, William Carlos Williams, and Langston Hughes.
