15 authors

[vaneramos]

I'm doing this meme because this is what's on my mind today anyway.

The Rules: Don't take too long to think about it. Fifteen authors (poets/playwrights included) who've influenced you and that will always stick with you. List the first fifteen you can recall in no more than fifteen minutes.

1. Ursula K. LeGuin
2. Annie Dillard
3. Luci Shaw (poet)
4. Cyrus Cassells (poet)
5. Barry Lopez (nature and fiction writer)
6. C. S. Lewis
7. Wendell Berry (nature writer and poet)
8. William Shakespeare
9. J. R. R. Tolkien
10. Timothy Findley
11. Robertson Davies
12. Rohinton Mistry
13. Mary Stewart
14. Salman Rushdie
15. Mark Doty (poet)
