Publisher Comments:

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.

Synopsis:

"A graceful and moving glimpse into a rare and giving artist's refined poetics, garden aesthetics, and spirituality."--Booklist

Melissa Kinsey, April 3, 2007 (view all comments by Melissa Kinsey)
Like spending time with your wise and gentle grandfather. This is a must-read for anyone interested in the process of creating art -- of any kind. The poems are nearly perfect, which is enough, but the prose is what sets the book apart.
