Editing a poem

What an encouraging afternoon. A student visited late in the day. Had given me a poem earlier at lunch and we went over it together looking at ways to work on the rough draft. Always fulfilling to work with a young person interested in poetry and receptive to improvement. Willing to polish that diamond even more and apply craft to natural talent to develop a finished work of art.

News of Harper Lee's death. As I told a friend, she lives on through To Kill A Mockingbird.
