The Rules: Don’t take too long to think about it. Fifteen authors (poets included) who have influenced you and will always stick with you. List the first 15 you can recall in no more than 15 minutes, and they don’t have to be listed in order of relevance to you.
I’ve included essayists and lyricists, too. This is really hard without having my bookshelf in front of me!
