Remembering Stanley Kunitz

On his 101st birthday, July 29th, the collected poems of the late Stanley Kunitz will be read aloud at an all-day event, following a memorial service, at the Provincetown Fine Arts Work Center. As in the annual Moby Dick reading in New Bedford, about 200 volunteers will each read one (or part thereof) of 149 poems written over the former poet laureate's 75-year career, beginning at 11 a.m. and continuing until about 8 p.m. Doors to the Stanley Kunitz Common Room open at 10 a.m., and anyone wishing to read a poem during the day need only come by 24 Pearl St. and get in line.
