Sierra Wardell Poetry Response Tuesday March 12‚ 2013 “The Writer” By: Richard Wilbur The passion one has for something can make those who have never related to it have a desire to understand it in order to experience the same passion. The Writer. This poem has too many words that could be said about it. Although this poem is about a father telling the readers about his daughter when she writes‚ it goes so much deeper than that.
