A Poet
For Oscar Restrepo, poetry is the meaning of life.

When he takes a job as a high school teacher, he discovers Yurlady among his disinterested students, a girl for whom inspired poetry and prose flow effortlessly. Yurlady has better things to do than dabble in verse, but Oscar is on a mission—to open for her the doors of fame he himself never managed to pass through.
