I've long admired Kinnell's understated poems, the mundane made remarkable. Unrelated perhaps, Kinnell's poems have the same fine quality W.S. Merwin's poems have; he also reads his poems with that authority without his reading of them becoming a performance. The poems are what he shows us, calling no attention to himself other than the realization and knowledge that he wrote them.

Kinnell is still my favorite poet to hear read. Great voice, great understated delivery, all heart.

I saw him read at the University of Arizona, Fall 1970. I was astounded. Thin figure in a black suit opening up the world for me.

"Hitchhiker" is such a fine poem and very funny. "First Song" was the first poem of his I heard him read on television, when it was still television. I have his first book in hardcover. I will have to pick up his Selected Poems. A fine reader who doesn't have to wave his arms around when he reads and whose reading of his poems I liken to W.S. Merwin's approach to reading his poetry. Such a fine poet. He is sorely missed.

wonderful- as of this date- 11/4/14- american poetry seems to me aneemic and acadeemic-Galway has surprise, rawness, and honesty-take garrison k's writers almanac? or poetry foundation offerings, the magazines- apr or poetry of chicago- do they publish Alice Walker? poliktical posems? poems abt sex, money, ego? Galway- like Robinson J- thank you-

I read Garrison's TWA- and thank him for that- but- everybody is copying wm carlos wms (without the punch) or elizabeth bishop ( but having nothing to say)

I'd love to meet him in his older age these days but damn, what to say... I'd have to say I'd pass a book turn by turn and read to each other. That would be the poet's dream dee-vine
