Aren't the paper cutouts Matisse rather than Cezanne?

I wonder if we won't start seeing more & more good geriatric poetry,  
what with current trends in longevity.  In the recent past we had the  
wonderful example of Stanley Kunitz, still cooking in his 90s.

Currently Ruth Stone is going strong at age 92, I think it is.  And  
in the age-80 range, we have Ashbery, Levine, Stern, Rich, Bly,  
Simpson, Wilbur, Carruth, Kinnell, Hall and others still actively  
publishing, even if some are arguably not hitting them out of the  
ballpark much these days.
