Stanley Kunitz, 100 not out

Well, I am speaking a little prematurely, but American poet Stanley Kunitz will turn 100 years old July 29 this year. & he's just had a new collection out, The Wild Braid.

Here's what he said in a recent interview: "I know that it's not my choice, so I simply do the best I can with this self, which is quite frail at the moment but is still at my command."
