Throughout his life Stanley Kunitz has been creating poetry and tending gardens. This book is the distillation of conversations- none previously published- that took place between 2002 and 2004. Beginning with the garden, that "work of the imagination," the explorations journey through personal recollections, the creative process, and the harmony of the life cycle. A bouquet of poems and a total of twenty-six full-color photographs accompany the various sections.

In the spring of 2003, Kunitz experienced a mysterious health crisis from which, miraculously, he emerged in what he called a "transformed state." During this period, his vision of the garden-constant source of solace and renewal-propelled him. The intimate, often witty conversations that followed this time are presented here in their entirety, as transcribed. Their central themes, circling mortality and regeneration, attest to Kunitz's ever-present sagacity and wit. "Immortality," he answers when asked. "It's not anything I'd lose sleep over." 26 color photographs.]]> 2005 5 0 false Tue Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 2006 Fri Jul 13 07:25:51 -0700 2007 Thu Oct 11 22:42:15 -0700 2007 3554530 222854 334307 0393329976 9780393329971 15 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1173838882m/334307.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1173838882s/334307.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/334307.The_Wild_Braid_A_Poet_Reflects_on_a_Century_in_the_Garden 4.52 82 "A graceful and moving glimpse into a rare and giving artist's refined poetics, garden aesthetics, and spirituality."—Booklist

During this period, his vision of the garden-constant source of solace and renewal-propelled him. The intimate, often witty conversations that followed this time are presented here in their entirety, as transcribed. Their central themes, circling mortality and regeneration, attest to Kunitz's ever-present sagacity and wit. "Immortality," he answers when asked. "It's not anything I'd lose sleep over." 26 color photographs.]]> 2005 0 0 false Sat Dec 19 05:20:27 -0800 2009 Sat Dec 19 05:20:29 -0800 2009 80507780 1110931 334307 0393329976 9780393329971 15 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1173838882m/334307.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1173838882s/334307.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/334307.The_Wild_Braid_A_Poet_Reflects_on_a_Century_in_the_Garden 4.52 82 "A graceful and moving glimpse into a rare and giving artist's refined poetics, garden aesthetics, and spirituality."—Booklist

Throughout his life (1905-2006) Stanley Kunitz created poetry and tended gardens. This book is the distillation of conversations, none previously published, that took place between 2002 and 2004. Beginning with the garden, that "work of the imagination," the explorations journey through personal recollections, the creative process, and the harmony of the life cycle. A bouquet of poems and a total of 26 full-color photographs accompany the various sections. The Wild Braid received a 2006 American Horticultural Society Book Award.]]> 2005 0 0 false Wed Dec 09 23:56:02 -0800 2009 Wed Dec 09 23:56:02 -0800 2009 8 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=334307
