One of the best things about this MFA business is increased exposure to poets I didn't even know about, like Kay Ryan. I should have known about her, since she was the Poet Laureate back for part of the Obama Administration, but didn't. I really like her poetry which bends words around, is simple and has short lines. Very pungent stuff.
Some others are Ai, CK Williams, AR Ammons, Anne Carson and Amy
Clampitt. These are just a few, but they're all really getting to me.
I cranked out four poems in the last 24 hours, all of which are pretty obtuse, which I like. On we go.
