Will 🇯🇵Superb Edward Norton and I’m going to miss Steven Colbert. Watch how he gives his guest the space.

a/k/a ginger 🍵...🎶🌻Wow! This is a must. Ed Norton was a guest on the Stephen Colbert show, and delivered a "reading" of an excerpt from a Walt Whitman poem. Norton had been talking with Colbert about the anxiety of our current time and his anxiety. He and Stephen are both big Whitman fans, and they noted how Whitman, more than any other American poet, speaks directly to future generations to remind them that his time too had anxiety.
IDK what I was expecting, but this was great. You can jump to the 16:48 minute mark for a minute or 2 of setup and then the performance.

kevinfinished watching #lssc featuring #edwardnorton channeling #waltwhitman: that was an awesome read. the only thing i can say to #stephenathome: we will never see your like again.

nevermorepoemWalt Whitman transforms individual perception into a shared human voice, creating poetry that dissolves boundaries between self and society, body and spirit, and life and death.
