Good Obituary
Hats off to Elaine Woo who wrote a gorgeous and heartfelt obituary in the LA Times today on poet Stanley Kunitz. Her writing brings back the Times. If you haven't read poetry (and I swear if you read my blog, eventually I'll get you to do so), his poems are a wonderful place to start.
Here's an excerpt from his poem,
"Touch Me"
What makes the engine go?
Desire, desire, desire.
The longing for the dance
stirs in the buried life.
American Academy of Poets
