What poets changed the way you thought about writing?
I think Anne Sexton really changed the way I think about writing because she wrote EVERYTHING no matter how raw. I once spent a summer reading her complete works, and it was all there. Every little bit of life that happened to her turned into poetry. I think Transformations made a huge impact on me because it showed me that you can use fairy tales (or other widely known works) to rewrite the personal. It’s a safe way of distancing the subjects that are too close to write well about directly.
