Reviews for The Wild Braid. A Poet Reflects on a Century in the Garden.
"No one who has ever gardened passionately will be a stranger to the sentiments Kunitz expresses about this act of domestic creation, but very few of us will ever come close to writing about it with his grace and clarity. This is indeed a book to cherish."
