Every great poem ever written starts with a blank page. A few years ago, acclaimed poet, editor and professor Matthew Zapruder began documenting the process of writing a new poem. But the project to illuminate poetry for us, turned into a personal one for him. Pouring words on blank pages gave him a way to understand his son's diagnosis with autism. He chronicles the journey of understanding his son, his role as a father and the powerful process of writing poetry in his new book is called Story of a Poem: A Memoir.
