Bill Murray Reads Poetry at Construction Site | Open Culture

Quote:

Last spring, construction workers building the new home for Poets House were treated to a short poetry reading by the actor Bill Murray. We initially encounter Murray reading lines from Billy Collins’ Another Reason I Don’t Keep a Gun in the House. Next up? Lorine Niedecker’s very pithy poem, Poets Work, and then, of course, a little Emily Dickinson.

At first, I wasn't sure whether to laugh or cry.

But then I thought, hey, they're building a house of poetry.

And so I laughed gleefully.

Their reactions are terrific. Puzzled, restless but yet, it's BILL MURRAY!! You have to love that they got their cell phones out too. Murray seems to recognize and enjoy all of it.
