Brief summary of how to use with students: This would be a great book to read when learning about poetry in English class. The story is about Willie who loves to write poetry but who had to go to medical school so he could become a doctor and take care of his family. Later in life though, he learns he can do what he loves, writing poetry, and make a living of it :)
