Annotation: This cheery story tells of William Carlos Williams who grew up loving poetry and the peaceful rhythms it created. Even though he went to medical school and helped people, he always had time to write poetry.
Personal Reaction: Prior to reading this story, I was not familiar with Williams' poetry. The way this biography was written, I almost forgot I was reading a biography. The dates and to-the-point facts were saved for a list at the end of the story. I found it very interesting that Williams was still able to incorporate his love for poetry into his busy life.
