A poet who knows it: Bill Murray shares some favorite verse
NEW YORK (AP) — Bill Murray has turned up everywhere from bachelor parties to baseball games, but his latest surprise has a more literary side:
The "Ghostbusters" star is featured on a page dedicated to National Poetry Month, offering brief asides on works by Galway Kinnell, Lucille Clifton, Thomas Lux and Naomi Shihab Nye.
Murray also includes Kinnell's "Oatmeal," with its reference to sharing a meal with the late John Keats.
On deadline day, he called the magazine's office and told Haber that he was in town and had some poems in mind.
Because he didn't use emails or fax machines, he suggested a meeting at his room in the Carlyle Hotel.
