Response 14, Week 7

I really like the details that create this character for the piece. It's a nice little story of the poet’s life. I'm not sure I like the voice of the mother in the beginning because it didn't feel fitting for the rest of the piece. It just seemed a little random. I really like the ending "and none hold a page of his work." I like this because as a poet I've been asked to write a poem about someone and I have to decline because for me it doesn't just work like that. I make poems from words I find interesting and create the scene or character from that. I use to try to force words and ideas for a concentrated subject but realized it is pretty much impossible. I'd get crappy poems because I would try to restrain. So I thought it was cool that I could relate to this poet in this piece by not creating works that involve my life but just playing with words and making something. But I really enjoyed reading this piece.
