About this Event
Stanley Kusunoki is the author of five collections of poetry; 180 Days—Reflections and Observations of a Teacher, Items in the News, (North Star Press of St. Cloud); Shelter in Place—Poems in a Time of COVID-19, and Social Studies—Poetry as History, Ethics and Journalism, (Polaris Press —an imprint of North Star Press); and Natural Life—A Poetic Field Guide, (Nodin Press) .
The book of the hour is Kusunoki's latest release, Natural Life. It explores a range of themes and emotions, reflecting the remarkable diversity and complexity of the natural world, the flow of life and death, the wonders of human character and social interaction, and its impact on the environment. Some of the poems have an anguished political edge, other touch on such delicate themes as the role of salad Nicoise in nurturing a romantic relationship. Kusunoki is a teacher, and his concern for the future of young minds and spirits rings out through the collection.
