Kuenstler, Walt

Author Walt Kuenstler is a bit like Wallace Stevens. Both pursued careers in business, while also writing deeply personal poetry. A 1971 graduate of the University of Pennsylvania, his early work was shaped by the tumult of the 1960's. He continues to work in advertising and marketing, his professional vocation. The first part of this volume contains work written during the Viet Nam war. The second part fast forwards to a time when he has been tempered by three decades of joy, sorrow, and discovery. It is above all a work of hope.
