Description
Stanley Kunitz's poetry has been described as "the old iron brought to the white heat of simplicity". This collection of interviews and conversations reveals the evolution of his artistry over four decades, touching on aesthetic motifs, friendships with fellow artists, and interactions with notable poets. Through these discussions, Kunitz shares insights into his own life, including his experiences growing up in a mid-sized industrial town and building institutions that fostered community among writers and artists. Kunitz's poetry is characterized by its eloquence and exploration of the human imagination. He has said, "If we want to know what it felt like to be alive at any given moment in the long odyssey of the race, it is to poetry we must turn." This book offers a unique glimpse into Kunitz's thoughts on poetry, art, and life, providing insight into his remarkable journey from personal isolation to a sense of community with fellow writers and artists.
