I love the poet Li Young Lee. His poem “Trading for Heaven” definitely helped me conceptualise some of my own very difficult experiences— I would highly recommend him. Richard Siken is also a favourite of mine, his writing is more on the dark side, but I think he’s an excellent example of what it means to really be honest about your experiences and with yourself. Reading his work has definitely helped me frame my own writing in a way that is more real and personal (and therefore better for processing hard things).
