Do you aspire to steal the literary 'voice' of any particular writer? Who do you aspire to imitate when you speak and write?

Stealing and copying was the way some of the best poets were taught their art. There's a reason that an Eliot or a Pope began by writing verse imitations of earlier poets.
The process of becoming a writer is a process of learning to imitate styles that are stronger than your own. The eventual result is always a synthesis of many styles, possibly with some innovation. But you cannot go from a weak and vulgar style to a strong and individual one by continuing to "bee yourself".
Cummings, Joyce, Nietzsche, Gass.
I'd say Shakespeare, but that would be a little unrealistic.
