Inside Voices

A bit late to the party, but here is my list of formative books. Some books I searched for weren't available (including works by Wanda Coleman, Lyn Lifshin, and Jan Clausen). At first I tried to stick to childhood/adolescence, but ended up including books I got into as late as my early (or mid) thirties. Which, for me, is still awhile ago! [ETA: Blake! I forgot William Blake, OMG.]

[ETA 2: And Mary Poppins!]
