Carla Barkman : part five

What poets changed the way you thought about writing? 

Erin Mouré: be weird, have fun, use all the words, get furious, cut and paste. Hilary Clarke, a professor at the University of Saskatchewan: say everything, leave nothing out. Christopher Dewdney: know the science, apply it, examine it in landscapes, bodies, brains, animals, insects. Anne Szumigalski: be a woman, be domestic, live through your creations. Anne Carson: cut to the chase. It can be hilarious, and powerful, to say exactly what you mean.
