The great American poet and former poet laureate Stanley Kunitz has died. I saw him read and discuss his work about 16 years ago (I think) at the Geraldine R. Dodge Poetry Festival and found him, even then in his 80s, to be a powerful presence. Rest in peace, Mr. Kunitz.
Read some of his work here.
