Miss St. Pierre and Miss Stevenson, my English teachers, were both single, both young, both passionately in love with books. 2 They encouraged me, not just to receive the language passively, but to actively engage it. In other words, not just to read, but to write. I wrote essays. poems, stories. I kept a journal. For my senior project. I put together a handwritten manuscript of poems and drawings, and with Miss St. Pierre's blessing. I carried it to a New York publisher when I was home for vacation.The editor, Gene Young, was actually a friend of my aunt Titi's who had been to boarding school with her.Gene very nicely offered to read the manuscript and then took me on a tour of the Harper & Row building introducing me to her coworkers as "a talented young poet."I glowed with pride-though it did occur to me that she had not, as yet-read any of my poems.Oh well, maybe editors could tell ahead of time that someone was going to be a good writer?

But it was difficult to find or trust my own voice using only these male models. 4 I can still remember the first time I heard my own voice on paper, it happened a few years after I graduated from a creative writing master's had earned a short-term residencv at Yaddo. the writer's colonv What is the most likely reason the author quotes the work of other poets in paragraph 5 and her own work in paragraph 7? 1. to emphasize her classical training in literature 2.to reveal how other poets have influenced her voice 3. to suggest that all poets are inspired by deeply personal events 4. to contrast the rhythm and style of her poetry with that of other poets
