Poet: Stanley Kunitz Poem: The Layers Comment 3 of 3, added on August 15th, 2010 at 12:46 AM.

This is an eternal human song! Herb Adams from United States Comment 1 of 3, added on November 7th, 2005 at 1:36 PM. what a wonderful reflection full of sadness and full of the simple act of continuing to face the future with strength in the face of so much loss.God bless Stanley Kunitz who has reached 100 years of age. bruce gelman More Comments >> Are you looking for more information on this poem?
