Justin Million:
An impeccable poet, and editor of poetry at bird, buried press.
Having grown up a zinester, I'm not sure whether I would've ever started actually submitting my work to publishers without the encouragement of Justin Million...
He is often my first reader, and always my best person.

Ursula Pflug:
@pflugu.bsky.social's book "Green Music" was a huge inspiration to me when I was a teenager. The magical realism was fascinating and gorgeous.
- I think I probably stole a lot from it in "brainsick" the book I self-published when I was a 17-year-old high school dropout.

Ernest Hemingway:
Found Hemingway in university and loved the simplicity of his language.
I also won the inaugural Barbara Rooke Travel Prize at Trent University by writing about "The Sun Also Rises" and that paid my way to Spain, which is a trip I'm very grateful to have had.

Charles Bukowski:
His writing opened me up to what poetry could be, and for that I am grateful. As a kid who had grown up around a lot of normalized misogyny, I wasn't put off by his treatment of women, and while I'm happy to have unlearned THAT garbage, I'm still glad that his work informed mine.

JD Salinger:
I haven't done a reread of Salinger in recent memory, but I think maybe I just felt incredibly seen by his work when I was first reading it as a young person. Having the books handy remains a comfort.

Kurt Vonnegut:
Slaughterhouse Five is my all time favourite book, and one could probably argue that the way I approach writing a collection of poetry is Tralfamadorian-inspired.

I have been boycotting Amazon... forever? And all of Nestle's holdings for the past... idk 7/8 years maybe?
I don't expect everyone to drop everything, but there are obvious evils in the world and I do my absolute best to avoid supporting them with my dollars.
Single day symbolism is not enough.
