Lynne Thompson : part three

What poets changed the way you thought about writing?

Patricia Smith for her approach to subjects the reader thinks she knows about; her work is revelatory because of the fresh approaches she takes to her material (see Incendiary Art; Blood Dazzler)

Pablo Neruda for the depth of his passion for the grand and simple topics he approaches (see: Twenty Love Poems and a Song of Despair; Ode to Common Things)
