"Kumin's is a poetry of wide sympathy and tact in which the ecumenical flavor is dominant. . . . This collection is full of generational severance and renewal, and a tart and compassionate irony."―The New Yorker
In these new poems, her eleventh collection, the Pulitzer Prize-winning poet focuses on the themes of family, friendship, the pleasures and rigors of rural life and the animal world that have always engaged her powerfully and fruitfully. Change and the things that never change attract Kumin's attention equally. Whether chronicling the bounty of summer, the cycle of seasons, or memories of youthful parties, her voice is clear, wise, and compelling."synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Review:
Maxine Kumin, whose previous works include the poetry books Looking for Luck and The Microscope, and the essay collections To Make a Prairie and Women, Animals and Vegetables, has added another fine poetry collection to her volume of work. She's all over the map with this one, from country New Hampshire to urban Boston, from Jewish agnosticism to convent school, and from spring training to ethnic cleansing, yet most always with an eye on the influence of the church.
From the Back Cover:
In these new poems, her eleventh collection, Maxine Kumin expands on the themes that have engaged her most strongly. Family connections resurface as she imagines a letter to her mother, long dead, or assesses the shift of responsibility between generations ("...they still love us who overtake us"). Her dialogue with the natural world - especially with the narrow divide between human and animal - continues, most notably in "Deja Vu", where she pays homage to her personal totem, the bear. Change and the things that never change attract Kumin's attention equally. Whether chronicling the bounty of summer, the cycle of seasons, or memories of youthful parties and lost friends, her voice is wise, clear, and compelling.
