A while back, I wrote about being a Wallace Stevens junkie. I read and re-read one of his poems and would get annoyed if the phone rang when I was in the middle of yet another reading of it.

I stumbled across this old post of mine and wondered (again) what poems we return to as poets.

For me:

Song by Brigit Kelly
Meditation at Lagunitas by Robert Hass
Freedom, Revolt, and Love by Frank Stanford
Goatsucker by Sylvia Plath

Of course, I return to more poems than just this small selection. These are the poems that came to mind tonight.

How about you? What poems do you find inspiring again and again?
