every day in 2016, write a sentence or a paragraph or a poem that inspires or appreciates
Stanley Kunitz
"Immortality? It's not anything I'd lose sleep over." Born in 1905 and died in 2006, he wrote poems for nearly 80 years. He was appointed Poet Laureate of the United States of America. But I celebrate him because his poems move me, and Bill Moyers' interview of him pulls me back again and again to hear him talk about poetry as legend and myth and the conflict of living and dying at the same time. He wrote about himself, I think, "he loved the earth so much/he wanted to stay forever." Stanley Kunitz, poet, human.
