4. What
poets changed the way you thought about writing?
I think my poet’s syllabus is constantly expanding so this list is
by no means exclusive, but the writers who have most informed by practice
include Rachel Blau DuPlessis, Caroline Bergvall, Barbara Guest, Charles
Bernstein, Robin Hyde, Robert Creeley, Bob Perelman, Susan Howe, Lyn Hejinian,
and Jennifer Scappettone. Robin Hyde as a NZer is likely the odd one out in
this otherwise American list of poets, but The
Book of Nadath, in my opinion, is one of the greatest examples of the
feminist epics in the 20th century.
