When he wrote poems, he felt as free as the Passaic River as it rushed to the falls. Willieâ‚¬s notebooks filled up, one after another. Willieâ‚¬s words gave him freedom and peace, but he also knew he needed to earn a living. So he went off to medical school and became a doctor -- one of the busiest men in town! Yet he never stopped writing poetry. In this picture book biography of William Carlos Williams, Jen Bryantâ‚¬s engaging prose and Melissa Sweetâ‚¬s stunning mixed-media illustrations celebrate the amazing man who found a way to earn a living and to honor his calling to be a poet.
