Which ten books are the books that have inspired the most writing from you? The books you read that you couldn’t wait to put down so you could write afterwards? These aren’t neccessarily your “favorite” books, but the books that have helped you generate the most new work. If you are a poet, they do not have to all be poetry, they can be fiction, non-fiction, etc.
Here are my top ten “inspiration-generating” books so far:

-Louise Gluck’s Meadowlands
-Hayao Kawai’s The Japanese Psyche: Major Motifs in the Fairy Tales of Japan
-Kelly Link’s Stranger Things Happen
-The Armless Maiden: And Other Tales for Childhood’s Survivors, Edited by Terri Windling
-Clarissa Pinkola Estes’ Women Who Run with the Wolves
–Humphries’ translation of Ovid’s Metamorphoses
–Margaret Atwood’s Selected Poems II
–Marina Warner’s From the Beast to the Blonde
-I’m going to cheat and allow film in this list: Hayao Miyazaki’s entire oevre
-HD’s Collected Poems
-My mother’s copy of XJ Kennedy’s Introduction to Poetry, circa1969, including all her notes

I’d love to see your lists!
