What poets changed the way you thought about writing?
Early in my writing career, William Carlos William’s poems showed me the power of crisp, minimalist language – and that the “everyday” is worthy of poetry. After all, does anything matter more than the red wheelbarrow?
More recently, I’m still interested in the everyday. But I’m trying to capture what that looks like in our times – and how it shapes our relationships and interactions. I’m inspired by poets like Karen Solie, Jim Johnstone and David O’Meara.
