What poets changed the way you thought about
writing?
T. S. Eliot because of his musical
lines. Seamus Heaney for what he does with history. Mary Rueffle. Billy Collins
for his ability to speak of the ordinary with levity. Carolyn Forche for
memorializing. Douglas Glover for being the best editor of prose. Agha Shaid
Ali for bringing Ghazal forms to English. Jan Zwicky for metaphor. Patrick Lane
for being the best editor of poetry. derek beaulieu because he forced me to
reconsider what poetry is. . . so many reconsiderations. Reading itself is an
act of reconsideration.
