==Early life and influences==
Bruce Dethlefsen was born to Frank and Patricia Dethlefsen in 1948. Bruce lived in Kansas City with his family until 1966. Frank worked as a grocer. According to Bruce, his father wanted him to attend college, but was not keen on Bruce’s desire to be a poet, as he did not think it practical. Bruce recalls the early influence his mother had in encouraging creativity with words and rhythm. He says,
I watched my mother, a displaced Okie, in her house-dress dance and sing around the kitchen. She loved to make up songs and little rhymes. The sillier, the better. She gave me permission to mess with words, the sound of words strung and unstrung together. E. E. Cummings also told me it’s okay to play. Most poets I know read and were read to as children. I remember fondly the words, the pictures, the touching, the warmth of hand and voice as my mother read to me.
Dethlefsen was aware of his poetic inclinations as a teenager but has later remarked that, “I wish that when I was in 7th or in 8th grade, a man would have gotten up in front of our class and read a poem that I understood and said ‘it’s really ok to do this.’ I think it would have added 10 years to my writing career."
