Watch John Doherty, a construction worker in Braintree, MA, read a selection from his favorite poem "Song of Myself" by Walt Whitman.  It's cool to see the perspective and inspiration he gets from Whitman — from under his "boot soles" — just as Will finds soul mates in "Shakespeare, Neitzche, Frost, O'Connor, Chaucer, Pope, Kant."

This is part of the Favorite Poem Project.
