Here are ten poets who influenced me pretty profoundly when I first started writing poetry:
- Wallace Stevens
- John Ashbery
- Michael Burkard
- Emily Dickinson
- Robert Creeley
- Federico Garcia Lorca
- Gertrude Stein
- T.S. Eliot
- Michael Palmer
- Frank O’hara
- Amira Baraka
Somehow I only got it whittled down to eleven. And: I reserve the right to revise, revise, revise!
