Passing Through: The Later Poems, New and Selected
Winner:National Book Award -Poetry (1995)
In "Touch Me," the last poem in the collection, Kunitz propounds a question, "What makes the engine go?" and gives us his answer: "Desire, desire, desire." These poems fairly hum with the energy, the excitement, the ardor, that make Kunitz one of our most enduring and highly honored poets. In the words of Carolyn Forché, "he is a living treasure."

Praise for this book
One of America's great poets. Most poets dry up at 50. For him to be writing poems at 90 is just incredible. --Mark Strand"
