Stanley Kunitz RIP

[KyleW]

Pulitzer Prize-winning poet and twice U.S. poet laureate.


"The deepest thing I know is that I am living and dying at once, and my conviction is to report that dialogue." - Stanley Kunitz

Only, when loosening clothes, you lean
Out of your window sleepily,
And with luxurious lidded mien
Sniff at the bitter dark - dear she,
Think somewhat gentle of, between
Love ended and beginning, me.

Damn, he is hot and posts a memorial to an incredible poet.


RIP, Kunitz.

There was a terrific obit that ran on NPR's "All Things Considered" last night. Probably floating around on their Web site if you care to hear it.
