[New-Poetry] Stanley Kunitz-- Memorial Service?

[Suzanne Burns]

I have heard rumors that a memorial service is planned in P'town this
weekend, but no confirmation yet.

Anyone hear anything?

I met Kunitz some years ago when a close friend of mine was doing
secretarial work for him.  He really was a sweet and generous soul.  Folks
in P'town, and especially at the Fine Arts Work Center, hold him very dear.
He will be sorely missed.
