I read quite a lot of poetry as a little kid. I’m not sure why and I know it’s a bit unusual, but I was going through every anthology in the house by the time I was eight. I might blame it all on Longfellow; I was exposed to ‘Hiawatha’ early on and was entranced by both the rhythms of the poem and its powerful mythic tales. Perhaps my love of fantasy could also find its roots in ‘Hiawatha.’
