What poets changed the
way you thought about writing?
What
decent poet doesn’t? I see that as part of the job description. That said,
Douglas Kearney’s “Quantum Spit” was the poem which really brought my interest
in experimental forms to the fore. From its use of typeface and dramatis
personae in mounting a chorus on the page, to its publication as broadsheet liner
notes in a record sleeve, every aspect of the poem challenges the boundary
between image and sound. Many poets have blown my mind since then, and now
that’s the poetry I seek out in particular.
