conversion on the 405

i don't for a moment claim to know anything about poetry... especially the modern stuff, but stanley kunitz died today at the age of 100. i turned on the radio just in time to hear a recording of the poet reading one of his own masterpieces- "the layers." in his memoirs, he was remembered as a man who always wrote and talked about the idea of transformation. it was a beautiful thing to think of a 100 year old man in love with the idea of "becoming" again. that's all i know about him, but that is enough to inspire me to desire what he tried to embody...

"i dream of an art so transparent that people
can look through it and see the world." - s. kunitz

familia

if you have 10 minutes...

a friend recorded this beautiful monologue about his daughter and her new-found love of "bools"... enjoy.

"fear & shame" or "e-Z & free"
