KUNITZ IS 100 TODAY: Pulitzer Prize-winning U.S. poet and former U.S. Poet Laureate Stanley Kunitz was born 100 years ago today in Worcester, Mass. In a New York Times interview, Kunitz said this: “You have to fight for your poems. I write my poems in the middle of the night, fairly till dawn sometimes. In the end, you are so tired, exhausted, you just jump into bed.” His new book has just been released. “The Wild Braid: A Poet Reflects on a Century in the Garden” is based on conversations between Kunitz and Genine Lentine, his literary assistant, and focuses on their mutual love of gardening.
