When you require renewal, is there a particular poem or book that you return to? A particular author?
Plath, particularly her later poems (1959 onwards). Her extraordinary grasp of the technical (alertness to rhythm and the sound of the poem when spoken aloud, imagery that’s at once startling and precise, the balance between sparseness and richness) gives her a steely control of often emotive and challenging subject matter. I find her work endlessly invigorating.
