Since our house is filled with books of poetry, I appreciate the children's biographies that are about the poets themselves. 16 Words is a lovely imagining of what inspired William Carlos Williams and led him to write poetry that seems short and simple but gave such a sense of the moment and emotion.
My friend, Margaux, and I are currently writing a poem a day to send to each other. It's a pretty fun practice! A lot of our poems are inspired by our daily life and the world outside our back door. (Much like Williams Carlos William's inspiration).
