Will read two poems by William Carlos Williams, whose name he found very amusing. These were very concrete pieces and Will discussed them adroitly. He said that he really couldn't relate to the poem about the blossoming pear tree because he has never seen anything like that. May he do so one day. Will also told me what he wanted to do in English next term: songwriting, punctuation, and writing for online audiences like email and reviews. He wants to read as well but not texts that have "old timey" words. We shall comply. Will wants to read an hour each day over break.
