About this title

Synopsis

Interviews and Encounters with Stanley Kunitz will be kept close at hand by young poets as a survival kit. Others who care about poetry and the life of the imagination will read and re-read the book to clear the head. Readers will understand why Kunitz is seen by many as a paradigm of the creative artist, a model and example to whom any artist - poet, painter, or whatever - can go for aid and courage.
