“I was much too young to really grasp the book, but I stole it off my English teacher’s shelf when I was 15 and never gave it back. Since then I’ve read it many times looking for language to describe why I love both reading and making poems. I am sorry I stole it, but hopefully she forgives me. I have used it only for good.”↗
