the Library of Congress announced Monday, Stanley Kunitz, 95, will become the 10th poet laureate of the United States in the fall. He was quoted as saying he will accept only if they don\’t make him move to D.C.
\”The reason I decided to accept this honor is that I want to do something for the young in this country,\” he said in a statement. \”I also want to stress the diversity of poetry in this country, in this `nation of nations,\’ as (Walt) Whitman said.\”
