M.  Welcome back to another blog post folks. Today, we're going to discuss Dear Mr Kilmer, and my impression on it. gee, sounds like a Youtube video ... can practically hear the music on this one Let's just straight into it. Dear Mr Kilmer, written by Anne Schraff, is... in a nutshell, is a story talking about a boy name Richard Knight and his interactions with a poet named Joyce Kilmer that was serving in World War 1. Richard Knight, a boy who likes poetry in a time where men is portrayed as tough and emotionless, is getting salt from his parents for being such a wuss. After a series of events, Richard decides to write a letter to Joyce Kilmer and tells him about his aspirations and hobbies, as the title suggests... "Dear Mr Kilmer."
