What poets changed the way you thought about writing?
The poets that inspire me the most in this moment are Dexter L. Booth, Jericho Brown, Alina Stefanescu, Vanessa Angelica Villareal, Marcelo Hernandez Castillo, and Aria Aber. These poets change the shape of my brain when I spend time with their work. I understand from them more about the possibilities of what poems can accomplish. There are upcoming young poets I’ve had the privilege to teach that make me know this too. I am in awe of the student poets I’ve worked with. They teach me more than I ever taught them and that’s the truth.
