RIP, Stanley Kunitz

May 15, 2006 23:48

One of the poems I read and held close to myself as a teenager was Stanley Kunitz' _The Flight of Apollo_. He passed away on Monday at the ripe old age of 100.

I offer up a link to an interview he did a few years ago (which contains the aforementioned poem), as well as one of my favorite excerpts from the poem itself.

I know what I know: I
shall never escape from strangeness or complete my journey.
