Default 20. Heart's Needle, W.D. Snodgrass

Given Lowell's importance, how about a nomination for the book and the poet that are acknowledged as influencing him--that are commonly cited as inaugurating confessional poetry, although Snodgrass himself supposedly disliked the term?

Those are the historically important reasons, but my real reason for naming Heart's Needle is that I love it, matter and form.
