Poetry book that Anthropic tried to censor

Stanley Kunitz’s 1930 debut collection *Intellectual Things* entered the public domain in 2024, prompting a Deep Cut Book Club edition that adds AI-generated poem interpretations. The slim volume explores the body, death, and reason’s limits. Kunitz, later a Pulitzer winner and two-time U.S. Poet Laureate, was influenced by metaphysical poets such as John Donne and William Blake, whose line “For a tear is an intellectual thing” supplies the book’s title.
