My sister just sent my attention to this terrific story on NPR about 3-year-old boy who memorizes and recites poetry. Watch the video of Samuel Chelpka reciting “Litany” by Billy Collins and you’ll understand quickly how phenomenal and just plain awesome this is.
I need more poetry in my life, especially like this. Thanks, Sis!
Wow. That kid is amazing. I can’t recite any whole poem from memory, and I’m 32.
