Kunitz Memorial Sept 20
From emdashes, this bit from the NYTimes
Stanley Kunitz, the former poet laureate of the United States who died in May at 100, will be celebrated in a free memorial tribute on Sept. 20 at the 92nd Street Y. Among those scheduled to reminisce and read from his work are the poets Mark Doty, Sharon Olds, Marie Howe, Galway Kinnell and Genine Lentine, and Gretchen Kunitz, his daughter. Mr. Kunitz had a long association with the Unterberg Poetry Center at the Y, first reading there in 1958. An archival film of one of his appearances is to be shown. Information: (212) 415-5500.
Kunitz died in May of this year. Born in my hometown, he has a special place in my heart that was only reinforced by his last book, “The Wild Braid: A Poet Reflects on a Century in the Garden”. The book was released in 2005, less than a year before his death at age 100.
