[Stylist] NPM_Focus on favorite poets _ Literary mentors

[llambert at zoominternet.net]

Good morning writers,

I've been writing one blog post a day for National Poetry Month.

This week, I will focus on 7 of my own favorite poets - one a day.

 

For my 7 selections, I revisit my own roots in poetry and where I found
inspiration and ideas - 

Do you know who your literary mentors are? We all have literary mentors, but
sometimes are unaware of them.

Our ideas begin somewhere, and it is important to know our own roots. 

It's a good thing to spend some time looking back at your own literary roots
to find out where you come from in your own  work.

We all have a literary history - what's yours?

The poets I'll be writing about are my literary mentors.

 

My first feature on today's post is Georg Trakl, an Austrian who was born in
Salzburg.

I visited the Traklhaus over the years, every summer when I was teaching in
Austria for a month-long course in drawing and writing for college students.

To walk in places where your literary mentors lived and worked is
life-changing.  We are carried on their backs.  My series this weeks pays
homage to my mentors.

 

You can read my post on Georg Trakl at this link:

I've included a poem in text format in the story, and a link to that poem
being read.  I've included a link where you can learn more about the Trakl
home in Salzburg. Trakl's work is in German, his native language. What I
posted is a translation.
