it's not unlike what makes a three-year-old at a wedding begin to dance when the band starts up and the grown-ups begin to dance. So, Emily Dickinson and Ben Jonson and Walt Whitman and John Keats inspire me. Poems like Keats' "Ode to a Nightingale" or Dickinson's "Because I could not stop for death" or Jonson's "Let it not your wonder move" give me a certain feeling, and I start to want to try to create that feeling.from Robert Pinsky: BU Today: Why Poetry Should Be Spoken
