Favorite authour....Knut Hamsun....Lyrical minimalism at its finest and the first modern celebration of the outsider defined not necessarily in terms of socio-economic status but rather as an inability to fit in anywhere.

Favorite poet....William Wordsworth....Because all my other favorite poets copied him

Favorite poem: The Raven, Alone...
Quote: (The Raven of course. I simply love this part!)

"Prophet!" said I, "thing of evil!--prophet still, if bird or devil!--
Whether Tempter sent, or whether tempest tossed thee here ashore,
Desolate, yet all undaunted, on this desert land enchanted--
On this home by Horror haunted--tell me truly, I implore--
Is there--is there balm in Gilead?--tell me--tell me, I implore!"
Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore."
