Recommended by a poet...

Who was your "gateway poet," the poet whose first book or poem made you want to write?

I was lucky enough to be raised into a family of readers — and so I have many fond memories of reading, and being read to, as a child. Most children’s books are, in fact, poetry. Songs, lyrics, verse, rhythm and repetition. It’s all there. There are so many I could name: Goodnight, Moon, Love You Forever, Chrysanthemum, The Giving Tree, The Paper Bag Princess, The Snowy Day . . . I still read children’s books now!

— Sara Youngblood Gregory, author of Dead Boys in Space
