    Three of my favourite poets on my bookshelves are Yeats, Dylan Thomas, and Blake.

    They never fail to make me fall in love with words and the english language all over again, or to just feel a part of something better.

    Christina Georgina Rosetti for so often putting into words exactly what I am feeling.

    Dean Koontz for making me shiver

    Pam Ayres (yes, you read that right LOL) for making me laugh my ass off ;)
