What poets changed the way you thought about writing?
Reading Matthew Welton was eye opening for me. The first book of his I came across was ‘The Number Poems’ after that I bought the other collections. What I found so interesting were the constrictions, limitations, the tactical formulation, mathematics. I can’t imagine the amount of work that goes into one of his poems.
Chelsey Minnis has also been a revelation for me. ‘You have to apply a blowtorch to a lollipop’ - I never knew!
