RE: Chat with me! I upvote quality comments! :)
I haven't been reading enough lately but I have Alice Notley sitting out right now to re-read. The book that drew me to her was "The Mystery of Small Houses." I am a little out of touch with my poetry mind, so I can't think of more authors, but if I do, I will add some more here :) .
I have also been checking out Silvia Plath.... a bit to depressing but it prompted to read more on her life... interesting stuff. I'm pretty new to reading poetry in depth myself.
i really love her. Her poetry, and her story. I mean her story is very tragic but her life was really interesting. She used to bake a lot when she needed to write... i think i do versions of that and I think that whole process is fascinating... the way that those distractions are an avoidance thing, or sometimes they are a pressure valve to make writing more possible.
