What poets changed the way you thought about writing?
Recently:
Derek Walcott – For the rich variation within his repetition. In his longer poems set in the Caribbean, familiar images – fronds, the sea, the horizon – reappear, but they change with each appearance.
Lisa Robertson – For her ability to sustain narrative movement while admitting noise and disjunction.
Safiya Sinclair – For her explosive, sonorous language that never becomes ornamental, but sustains the poem’s development.
