Eliot, Breakfast at Tiffany’s by Truman Capote, The Colossus by Sylvia Plath, and the works of Leonard Cohen amongst others. Fascinated by Art Nouveau she looks for the fresh, new, considered work, poetry that “bangs in the dance”, the kind of writing that keeps the Reader warm on long, dark winter nights.
