In one of the week’s stranger stories, a lost William Carlos Williams poem has been donated to Southwest Missouri State University. Entitled “About a Little Girl,” it was written for a teenager whom Williams – a doctor as well as a poet – had diagnosed as having leukemia and being close to death.

The twist? The girl in question, Marion Macy, lived until the ripe old age of 91 before dying in 2002. Says the story on the CBC Arts site: “Macy married a man called Lund and had two sons, who grew up with that poem, yellowing around the edges and signed with the initials WCW, on the wall of their home.” One of her sons has  donated the poem to the university.
