The Collected Poems

Plot

In 1995, Stanley Kunitz received the National Book Award in Poetry. the award reads in part: "In his genius, great clarity is joined to great generosity. His work shines with humanity, humor, precision, and passion." Now, in the year of his ninety-fifth birthday, Kunitz combines both early and later poems, including his 1958 Selected Poems (which won the Pulitzer Prize), and presents us with the gift of his life's work to date in poetry.
