When he was 12 years old, he discovered his "sacred little geometry book." ADVERTISEMENT His n

 My first snow, I open the pages of Montale, the scent of iron and light coming out of heads of lemon trees in the middle of an orchard where raucous boys play, not hearing the eel-quiet laureate who roams under a sky dappled with rust. He comes through the gate, plucks acanthus, unburdening himself of the city and the classics left in his study. Standing still, his shadow moves to branches brushing earth, freckling it with flame. Montale stoops in flecked leaves, to a flickering secret, and what could be translated as winter fixes a spire in my chest and my eyes go low down with that crouching tower; I cling to a still revolving truth: the world is a golden calyx, but home is a burst lemon, a child weeping at the cane root.

As one writes, there are all kinds of rules to adhere to: grammar, spelling, punctuation, etc. In school, writing can feel like a chore if it's part of a class assignment or a topic the student doesn't care about.

By Meghan Laslocky September 3, 2020 HARRY POTTER AND THE PRISONER OF AZKABAN DANIEL RADCLIFFE RGR Collection / Alamy Stock Photo Ideally, writing shouldn’t feel like a chore to students, and grading writing shouldn’t be overwhelming for teachers.
