For him to be writing poems at 90 is just incredible." Mark Strand "Perhaps the closest American poetry has ever come in our time to achieving an urgency ad an aura that deserve -and even demand- to be called visionary. . . Passing Through is, above all, a book of revelations." David Baber

The Testing-Tree On my way home from school up tribal Providence Hill past the Academy ballpark where I could never hope to play I scuffed in the drainage ditch among the sodden seethe of leaves hunting for perfect stones rolled out of glacial time into my pitcher's hand; then sprinted lickety- split on my magic Keds from a crouching start, scarcely touching the ground with my flying skin as I poured it on for the prize of the mastery over that stretch of road

Stanley Kunitz and Friends Stanley Kunitz , recently chosen as Poet Laureate of the United States, served as advisor to The Human Experience , a Quaker-inspired collection of poetry and fiction by Soviet and American writers that was jointly edited and published in the United States and the Soviet Union in 1989. In May, 1987, Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Kunitz gave a benefit poetry reading on behalf of the project, where he observed: "One of the discoveries that I've made in the course of my life is that there is a deep and touching solidarity and friendship among all writers and artists on this planet. Poets, in particular, constitute an international community of souls. I know that wherever I travel, whenever I'm among poets, I will be in the company of friends. This gies me hope because they are the ones who are instruments for fashioning greater harmony among peoples." Kunitz has translated into English such major poets as Anna Akhmatova, Yevgeni Yevtushenko, and Andrei Voznesensky. From "The Human Experience : A Literary Bridge for Peace" by Anthony Manousos

Poems by Stanley Kunitz End of Summer An agitation of the air, A perturbation of the light Admonished me the unloved year Would turn on its hinge that night. I stood in the disenchanted field Amid the stubble and the stones, Amazed, while a small worm lisped to me The song of my marrow-bones. Blue poured into summer blue, A hawk broke from his cloudless tower, the roof of the silo blazed, and I knew that part of my life was over. Already the iron door of the north Clangs open: birds, leaves, snows Order their population forth, And a cruel wind blows. Passing Through Nobody in the widow's household ever celebrated anniversaries. In the secrecy of my room I would not admit I cared that my friends were given parties. Before I left town for school my birthday went up in smoke in a fire at City Hall that gutted the Department of Vital Statistics. If it weren't for a census report of a five-year-old White Male sharing my mother's address at the Green Street tenement in Worcester I'd have no documentary proof that I exist. You are the first

Nobody in the widow's household ever celebrated anniversaries. In the secrecy of my room I would not admit I cared that my friends were given parties. Before I left town for school my birthday went up in smoke in a fire at City Hall that gutted the Department of Vital Statistics. If it weren't for a census report of a five-year-old White Male sharing my mother's address at the Green Street tenement in Worcester I'd have no documentary proof that I exist. You are the first, my dear, to bully me into these festive occasions. Sometimes, you say, I wear an abstracted look that drives you up the wall, as though it signified distress or disaffection. Don't take it so to heart. Maybe I enjoy not-being as much as being who I am. Maybe it's time for me to practice growing old. The way I look at it, I'm passing through a phase: gradually I'm changing to a word. Whatever you choose to claim of me is always yours: nothing is truly mine except my name. I only borrowed this dust. Excerpted from The Collected Poems of Stanley Kunitz

CONVERSATION October 26, 2000 U.S. Poet Laureate Stanley Kunitz speaks with Elizabeth Farnsworth. JIM LEHRER: Finally tonight, a lifetime in poetry. Elizabeth Farnsworth reports. ( Applause ) ELIZABETH FARNSWORTH: Stanley Kunitz took up his duties as poet laureate October 12 with a reading of his poems at the Library of Congress. STANLEY KUNITZ: "Lamplighter." 1914. "What I remember most was not the incident at Sarajevo but the first flying steam kettle puffing round the bend." ELIZABETH FARNSWORTH: Kunitz was nine years old when World War I broke out. He was already working, lighting gas lamps on the roads around Worcester, Massachusetts. STANLEY KUNITZ: "I stood on the rim of the buggy wheel and raised my enchanted wand with its tip of orange flame." ELIZABETH FARNSWORTH: That flame seemed a metaphor for the light Kunitz has cast ever since in poems which span the century. On this evening he read deeply personal works, including one about his father's suicide. STANELY KUNITZ: "My mother never forgave my father for killing himself, especially at such an awkward time, and in a public park, that spring, when I was waiting to be born."

But on Oct. 12, the Library's new 95-year-old poet laureate, Stanley Kunitz (right), at times seemed to be doing just that. He opened the reading by announcing that he was worried about the young man who wrote the poem he was about to read. The poem was called "Vita Nova" and he wrote it when he was 23. He had reread it the night before, he said, with a "bit of surprise and some dismay." "I began to worry about the young man who wrote it," he said. "He seemed so alone and vulnerable, yet so proud and enthralled with the conviction of his destiny. I think he needs an older friend, a mentor, to show him the way. I'd like to volunteer, but I guess it is too late." The poem could be described as "Shakespearean." The poet vows to step out of daily life and henceforth dedicate himself to eternity. It is the kind of vow only a young person would make. The last stanza:

58. Stanley Kunitz, Poet Laureate stanley kunitz — OUR NEW POET LAUREATE He is stanley kunitz, winner of aPulitzer, a National Book Award, the Bollingen Prize, and on and on. http://www.lincolnnet.net/friends/kunitz.html

STANLEY KUNITZ — OUR NEW POET LAUREATE Last October 12 a new U. S. poet laureate took over from Robert Pinsky. He is Stanley Kunitz, winner of a Pulitzer, a National Book Award, the Bollingen Prize, and on and on. His awards are impressive, as are his carefully crafted, unique and personal poems, but equally impressive is Kunitz' age. . .he was 95 last July. Alas for Thomas Hardy, who took quiet pride in being the oldest poet to be published in English, for Kunitz has a new book, Collected Poems, out this year. Alas for Wordsworth, too, who wrote: We poets in our youth begin in gladness; But thereof comes in the end despondency and madness. Stanley Kunitz has plenty of gladness still, for his Provincetown garden, for his wife (#3) of 42 years, for his daughter, and for each poem, which he says "comes in the form of a blessing, like rapture breaking on the mind." Kunitz was born in Worcester, Massachusetts, where his father was a dress manufacturer (The Persian Wrapper Co.) who was left bankrupt when an associate misappropriated some funds; he committed suicide before Stanley was born. The tragedy lives on in one of Kunitz' best known poems, "The Portrait:" My mother never forgave my father for killing himself
