Vintage poster of Stanley Kunitz’s reading at the Poetry Center of Chicago.
My name is sand: I make
Dumbshows on windowshades;
Wring hands; dissolve; swirl back;
Play furious, grim charades.
– Stanley Kunitz, “The Illusionist”
Listen to Stanley Kunitz’s 1976 reading for the Poetry Center of Chicago:
Stanley Kunitz begins at 8:30 minutes.
An agitation of the air,
A perturbation of the light
Admonished me the unloved year
Would turn on its hinge that night.
– Stanley Kunitz, “End of Summer”
