Carolyn Kizer passes at 89
Pulitzer prize winning poet Carolyn Kizer passed away Thursday at 89.
“Doctor, I’ll say,” she writes in “Afternoon Happiness,” "I’m supposed to be a poet. All life’s awfulness has been grist to me. We learn that happiness is a Chinese meal, While sorrow is a nourishment forever. My new environment is California Dreamer. I’m fearful I’m forgetting how to brood. And, Doctor, another thing has got me worried: I’m not drinking as much as I should ..." http://www.latimes.com/books/jacketc...011-story.html Rest in Peace dear lady.
