My beginning influence was clearly Anne Sexton -- no single poet made a bigger impression on me during my late teens and early 20's. It's a cliche for
young women (of my generation, at least) starting in poetry to be either
Sexton or Plath. Cyndi Lauper or Madonna. So let's say my earliest roots are
Sexton-Lauperion.

So good - we ought to do survey of all poets aged 28-38...I'm positively Plathonna.
