Author's Note: This list is not all inclusive, but I would be more than willing to discuss these poets with anyone who cares to ask and I'm always looking for suggestions.

I love Billy Collins - probably my favorite contemporary poet - saw him read about 2 1/2 years ago and have been a fan ever since. Also familiar with cummings and Donne (of course) and Paz. Howe and Ondaatje I am not as familiar with - will have to investigate their work. My all-time favorite, and biggest influence, is W.C. Williams. Dylan Thomas also is a lyrical influence. H.D. and Stevens, to a lesser degree. Who have I been reading lately? Yusef Komunyaaka, Robert Hayden, Marge Piercy, Stephen Dunn, Seamus Heaney, and Paul Muldoon, with whom I had a workshop just a day or so after he won the Pulitzer Prize for poetry earlier this month.... d:-)
