@Kskalofonos Hi! I mostly dabble in writing free verse.
One of my biggest influences is Wendell Berry. I just can't get enough of his writing/poetry.
I also enjoy Ted Kooser, Mary Oliver, and Anne Porter to name a few off the top of my head. And I have a love/hate relationship with Rilke haha. His "Letters to a Young Poet" is wonderful but his poetry is very hit or miss for me.
