41. In A Dark Time … The Eye Begins To See » Stanley Kunitz As an alternative, here’s stanley kunitz’s introduction to Passing Through. It provides an interesting contrast in style to Rollo May’s Courage to Create, http://www.lorenwebster.net/In_a_Dark_Time/category/poets/stanley-kunitz/

January 8, 2002 Another Look at Creativity Passing Through Courage to Create , though they both seem to making the same kinds of claims for the value of art. SPEAKING OF POETRY The writer today, said Albert Camus in his acceptance of the Nobel Prize, "cannot serve those who make history; he must serve those who are subject to it." If we want to know what it felt like to be alive at any given moment in the long odyssey of the race, it is to poetry we must turn. The moment is dear to us, precisely because it is so fugitive, and it is somewhat of a paradox that poets should spend a lifetime hunting for the magic that will make the moment stay. Art is that chalice into which we pour the wine of transcendence. What is imagination but a reflection of our yearning to belong to eternity as well as to time? In an age defined by its modes of production, where everybody tends to be a specialist of sorts, the artist ideally is that rarity, a whole person making a whole thing. Poetry, it cannot be denied, requires a mastery of craft, but it is more than a playground for technicians. The craft that I admire most manifests itself not as an aggregate of linguistic or prosodic skills, but as a form of spiritual testimony, the sign of the inviolable self consolidated against the enemies within and without that would corrupt or destroy human pride and dignity. It disturbs me that twentieth century American poets seem largely reconciled to being relegated to the classroom-practically the only habitat in which most of us are conditioned to feel secure. It would be healthier if we could locate ourselves in the thick of life, at every intersection where values and meanings cross, caught in the dangerous traffic between self and universe.

What's New Free Trials Orders Contacts ... Shopping Cart Obituary for Stanley J. Kunitz, Poet, Teacher, and Former H.W. Wilson Editor Back to Current Biography Kunitz, Stanley July 29, 1905–May 14, 2006 Poet; editor; teacher; consultant in poetry to the Library of Congress (1974–76); United States poet laureate (2000–01); New York State poet laureate (1987–89). Stanley Jasspon Kunitz was an unmistakably recognizable voice in 20th-century American verse. A poem came to him, as he said, “in the form of a blessing, like rapture breaking on the mind,” but he crafted it to perfection with lapidarian patience and care for subtleties, without losing the original inspiration and passion. An essential focus of his was, in his words, on the theme “that we are all living and dying at once,” one he embraced with a sense that he was “grasping everything in this life that makes it beautiful, enjoyable, stimulating, and funny sometimes.” In a eulogistic interview with Melissa Block on National Public Radio, Marie Howe, one of the many younger poets he had mentored, and a longtime friend of his, observed that he “wrote always about transformation and change . . . at the intersection of time and eternity.” She cited in particular his poem “The Layers,” about surviving loss and grief and, in her words, “going on as a transformed being.” Over the years Kunitz moved from an intellectual style, partly in the metaphysical tradition and marked by formal adherence to traditional rhyme and meter, to a leaner and more openly autobiographical style, with natural speech rhythms. “His later work is so transparent,” Howe observed, “so seemingly simple on the surface, that all you hear is the sound of a soul speaking out.”

INTRODUCTION Hailing from the generation of poets that came of age under the influence of T. S. Eliot and W. H. Auden, Kunitz is considered an important, if somewhat critically neglected, voice in contemporary American poetry. He exercised a subtle influence on such major poets as Theodore Roethke and Robert Lowell, and has provided encouragement to hundreds of younger poets as well. Kunitz's career is generally divided into two phases. While his early poetry collections, including Intellectual Things (1930) and Passport to the War (1944), earned him a reputation as a technically accomplished metaphysical poet, his later work, beginning with The Testing-Tree (1971), showed Kunitz writing a simpler, more emotional poetry that embraced the physical world. Although Kunitz has always been admired by his peers, especially since the publication of

She locked his name in her deepest cabinet and would not let him out, though I could hear him thumping. When I came down from the attic with the pastel portrait in my hand of a long-lipped stranger with a brave moustache and deep brown level eyes, she ripped it into shreds without a single word and slapped me hard. In my sixty-fourth year I can feel my cheek still burning. If you imagine Kunitz holding one end of a piece of string, and the reader holding the other, throughout the development of this poem, the tension of the string never slackens. Each line reveals something new, and as the poem progresses down the page, through time, the meaning of the previous lines is shaded and altered by the next.
