This week’s podcast is something special. It is a new venture for me to record a famous poem by a famous poet and this will be the precursor to a series beginning in January 2014 ubtil June.

Next year, as well as the final podcast of the month being of a poem by a guest contemporary poet from the Blogosphere, the first one of each month will be a well known poem by a famous poet.

This week to commemorate the 50th anniversary of President John F. Kennedy I am reading O Captain! My Captain! by Walt Whitman, originally penned for the death of President Abraham Lincoln.
