    lawrence ferlenghetti and allen ginsberg (no one said they had to be sexy): they help me with my style, and ginsberg pushes me to realize that everything is beautiful, and nothing is disgusting.
    That has really got me thinking. being a straight guy, I wouldn't consider Ferlinghetti or Ginsberg a muse, because I think there has to be a quasi-sexual attraction to some degree, but they are my greatest inspirations for my writing and my reason for loving Ginsberg is the exact same as yours. I don't think I've ever connected to another person's mind like I did with Ginsberg when I read Howl.

    I can't believe all of this talk about muses and not one mention of

    Throwing Muses

    True, I love Tanya Donnelly. Belly had some great tunes.
