Adapted from a list of "questions for writers" that I rather liked (and I know I sometimes post the same questions more than once, but we get new people, and I suspect the answers change too!):

--Who is your favorite poet (if you read poetry) and why?

I usually go back to Sara Teasdale because the mix of romanticism and lushness combined with formal rhythm and rhyme always appeals to me. However, I've probably memorized more T.S. Eliot than any other poet. :)

I don't want to talk about my writing this week because I will descend into a sobby and incoherent mess of whining about meetings and committees, so...tell me about yours!
