1. New York State Writers Institute - Stanley Kunitz STANLEY KUNITZ. New York State Poet, 19871989. Stanley Kunitz was born in Worcester, Massachusetts in 1905. Educated at Harvard http://www.albany.edu/writers-inst/kunitz.html

STANLEY KUNITZ New York State Poet, 1987-1989 Stanley Kunitz was born in Worcester, Massachusetts in 1905. Educated at Harvard, from which he was graduated summa cum laude , he received the Garrison Medal for Poetry there. His first book of poems, Intellectual Things , appeared before he was 25. In the period before World War II he worked as a newspaperman, edited a magazine, and compiled several works of standard literary reference, of which the best known is Twentieth Century Authors . After military service and a year's residence in Santa Fe on a Guggenheim grant, he joined the faculty of Bennington College for his first teaching appointment. He has since taught at Potsdam State Teachers' College, Yale, Princeton, Rutgers, the New School for Social Research and as a Danforth visiting lecturer. He has served as poet-in-residence at the University of Washington, Queens College, Brandeis University, and Princeton, and has taught for many years in the graduate writing program at Columbia University. Selected Poems: 1928-1958 ; the Blumenthal and Levinson Prizes; an Amy Lowell traveling fellowship; the Saturday Review and Harriet Monroe poetry awards; an award from the National Institute of Arts and Letters; a Ford Foundation grant; an Academy of American Poets Fellowship; and in February 1987, New York State's Walt Whitman Citation of Merit and the Bollingen Prize for poetry. His citation for the Brandeis Medal of Achievement in 1965 described his poetry as "combining a classical strength of language and vision which goes beyond the easier uses of irony and achieves the genuinely tragic." And in 1984, the National Endowment for the Arts honored him with a Senior Fellowship "for his inordinate generosity in working with younger writers" and "his contribution to the world of letters ... a living and lasting influence." His poems have been translated into more than a dozen languages, including Russian, Dutch, Macedonian, French, Japanese, Hebrew, Arabic and Swedish.

The Collected Poems of Stanley Kunitz Stanley Kunitz by Steven Burt Collected So bear with me, and if I thrash and groan In the throes of sleep believe me that I saw The great fish tunneling the purple sea, Earth-darkening bird that harries man alone. When the early poems address his father they do so with stilted melancholy: "Father, the darkness of the self goes out / And spreads contagion on the flowing air." Another poem tells its beloved: "Listen! we make a world! I hear the sound / Of Matter pouring through eternal forms." Kunitz’s contemporaries–from Dylan Thomas to Richard Wilbur–could work with high diction in "eternal forms" and still sound like they meant it; Kunitz seems to have discovered that he could not, even as his last work in his old high way, 1958’s Selected , won him a Pulitzer. He changed his style during the 1960s. On the evidence of The Testing-Tree Life Studies . Yet he had been asking, even praying, for rawness and vividness since his most controlled early poems: one turns away from "the wisdom of another age" to realize that "the thing that eats the heart is mostly heart." He has minimized his stylistic change–"Given the kind of person I am," he wrote in the 1970s, "I came to see the need for a middle style"–but it was drastic, and all for the good. What he kept from his old work, and needed, was its compression; what he learned, and needed, was understatement and comedy–the last knotted with awe and horror:

Sarah Manguso From the Archives Interviews Isak Dinesen Henry Miller Poetry James Cummins Frank Dux Patricia Ferrell Serena J. Fox INTERVIEWER Aside from Roethke, did you have any staunch supporters? KUNITZ I had more than I knew, but no lines of communication between us. Imagine my surprise to learn, on my discharge from the army in '45, that I had been awarded a Guggenheim fellowship, for which I had never applied. When I inquired how it could have happened, I was told that Marianne Moore, whom I wasn't to meet until years later, had been my intercessor. INTERVIEWER At forty you still thought of yourself as a stranger? KUNITZ I'm reminded of a passage in a letter from Henry James in reply to a young admirer of his. This was late in his life. 'You ask me from what port I embark? That port is my essential loneliness.'' INTERVIEWER KUNITZ (laughs) ... which is nonsense.

8. A Visionary Poet At Ninety - 96.06 The Later Poems, New and Selected. by stanley kunitz. W. W there is the great and permanent example of stanley kunitz, who not only has continued to write poems of http://www.theatlantic.com/issues/96jun/kunitz/kunitz.htm

Books June 1996 A Visionary Poet at Ninety What's all this about poets in their youth beginning in "gladness" but ending in "despondency and madness"? William Wordsworth, meet Stanley Kunitz by David Barber PASSING THROUGH: The Later Poems, New and Selected by Stanley Kunitz W. W. Norton, 159 pages, $18.95. I T is a melancholy fact that poets seldom sustain their creative vigor and prowess into great old age. The reasons for this are both self-evidently actuarial and curiously inscrutable. By the time Walt Whitman came to be hailed as the "good gray poet," complete with photogenic Old Testament beard, he was virtually a poet emeritus, occupying himself with writing "annexes" for Leaves of Grass under the doleful rubrics "Sands at Seventy" and "Goodbye My Fancy." William Wordsworth, the longest-lived of his storied generation of English Romantics, appraised the dire effects of the aging process on those in his line of work in a couplet that has since come to have a proverbial ring: "We Poets in our youth begin in gladness; / But thereof come in the end despondency and madness." That sounds gloomy beyond the call of duty. Still, it succinctly lays out one plausible hypothesis for the high incidence of burnout among poets of a certain age. Ample supporting evidence for the Wordsworthian position can be had by thumbing the anthologies that make a clerical fetish of listing dates of composition: the numbers suggest that a bitter dotage is more often than not a self-imposed sentence, the fateful consequence of extravagant ambition or of a prematurely autumnal disposition. Throw in the scourges of obscurity, the blandishments of reputation, and the capriciousness of taste, common occupational hazards all, and it can seem a wonder that any poet would go to heroic measures to ward off disillusionment. Just as telling, perhaps, are the concessions one finds even a grand old lion like

Kunitz's first collection of verse appeared in 1930. He has written in misleadingly effortless way of such complex themes as the work of a poet, loss, time, and the chaos of inner life. Conversational in tone, Kunitz's self-scrutinies in the realm of the soul are discerning and touching but calmly restrained: "If I could cry, I'd cry, / but I'm too old to be / anybody's child." Kunitz’s poetry has been translated into more than a dozen languages. In 1955 his selected poems, Passing Through , won the National Book Award. "The poem comes in the form of a blessing," he once remarked, "like the rapture breaking through on the mind."
