Which poets have most influenced you?

John Keats, Gerard Manley Hopkins, Eric Beach, Myron Lysenko, Ania Walwicz, Elizabeth Bishop, Billy Collins, Charles Simic, Sylvia Plath, and Emily Dickinson – in that order through time; though tomorrow the answer would be a variation on this.

Are poems chiefly inspired or crafted?

No future for a poem without both craft and inspiration being involved, but no use for a poem unless it is first brought to life by inspiration (by breathing it in, then breathing it out).
