Whitman on a Windshield
It wasn't enough to catch people unawares with poetry on their windshield. We wanted to simultaneously cheer them up, inspire them, and make them feel sorta naughty. And there was only one poet we could think of who would fit the bill … Walt Whitman!
Okay, there have been cheerier poets. And, yes, more inspiring ones. And, if you must, naughtier. But very few have been all three as well as our boy, Walt. And that is exactly what we wanted the customers of Von's grocery store to be thinking on their way home.
