Extractions: May 13, 1992 Steven Ratiner Steven Ratiner: I think it's fair to say that, in your poems, the natural world receives more consistent praise than human nature and society. Where does that feeling come from? Maxine Kumin: I guess out of my own observations. I don't see that kind of depravity in the natural world that I see in the human world. But how did that bond with nature come about in your life? In the poem "Credo," the relationship you describe with your horses is astonishingly intimate, almost a mystical bond. I trust them to run from me, necks the smell of it. Well, I'm afraid of words like "mystical" and "spiritual," since I'm neither, I think. But I'm not sure how to characterize what it is. There's some kind of nonverbal communication that takes place between humans and animals.... I'm fascinated just exploring that interrelationship. But the poem goes on to say, "I believe in myself as their sanctuary/ and the earth with its summer plumes of carrots,/ its clamber of peas, beans, masses of tendrils/ as mine."

maxine kumin. By Victoria Maggie Jones. maxine kumin is a wonderfulwriter who helped me to understand many important facts about life.
http://project1.caryacademy.org/echoes/poet_Maxine_Kumin/DefaultKumin.htm

Extractions: Cary Academy The Life and Poetry of: Maxine Kumin By: Victoria "Maggie" Jones Maxine Kumin is a wonderful poet because of her amazing talent to capture one issue and create a pure, vivid picture in your mind even if you have never experienced it. Kumin writes most, if not all, of her poems based on on-going issues such as starvation and war and also explores more personal issues as in family, love, and friendship. She also writes many poems based on her childhood experiences. Kumin was born a Jew in 1925 and was very sympathetic to the Jews who were killed during WWII. She grew up in Philadelphia on a farm with her mother and her father. Kumin says that her parents never really took an interest in her poetry and even now dont seem to push her to keep writing. Kumin believes that this helped her to keep writing because no one was really pushing her past her limits so she was able to write as she pleased. Kumin has been friends and meets with many great poets, as well as inspiring young poets all over the world. Ever since there meeting at a poetry convention, Kumin and Anne Sexton were the best of friends. They inspired each other because they were so different. Kumin would bounce ideas off Sexton, and they would go to poetry readings together. Kumin was also greatly moved by Robert Frosts poetry, which she thought was beautiful. Kumin has inspired many people and poets all over the world. She goes to many lectures, readings and discussions of her poetry and books. She has been a teacher and has a view that teaching her poetry is the best way to inspire and direct young writers. She loves being inspired and inspiring others.

Extractions: by Maxine Kumin Page 1 I just want to start by saying what a great pleasure it is to be invited to a festival of this sort in the company of my peers, other women poets, and what a kind of sense of reunion it gives me to be here with Mary and with Ruth. Ruth, in particular, is an old friend. And later today I guess I'm going to get to see Denise, and then Adrienne is coming and tomorrow Carolyn, and I think, "What an incredible collection John Harrington has gathered for this." I told him earlier this year that I had been trying to write an Emily Dickinson poem. It's a kind of vengeful poem. Without naming names, there is an august critic whose book on American literature contains mention of exactly one female and of course you know who that one is. A well known male poet being asked to list the women poets, American poets, whose work he admires, could come up only with you know who. The facts in this poem, the biographical facts, are actual and I'm calling it "The Uses of Emily." Oh, how they wrack

Spinal Chord Injury And Rehabilitation --- Maxine Kumin
Inside the Halo And Beyond The Anatomy Of a Recovery maxine kumin (Norton) maxinekumin lives in Vermont, and has a great fondness for horses and riding.
http://www.ralphmag.org/halo-kuminZO.html

Extractions: (Norton) Maxine Kumin lives in Vermont, and has a great fondness for horses and riding. Several years ago, as she was going about in her four-wheeled "marathon" carriage, her horse panicked. Kumin fell out and under the wheels and broke her spine. Inside the Halo is a description of her six months of recovery (as of the writing of the book, she is still weak, but is able to walk and, indeed, at the very end, returns to ride the same horse that nearly killed her). Over the last twenty-five years, there has been an outpouring of what some call CripLit. This writing is a difficult art, and those who succeed at it must have a fine edge. One must show the pain of loss-of-body without devolving into self-pity, or self-indulgence, or (most dangerous of all), sentimentality. On the other hand, one must beware of a writing style with too much coolness and apparent non-involvement. There are several writers who have done an excellent job of conveying the truth of it, without falling into any of the traps. One of the most successful was John Callahan, with his bitter but riotous Don't Worry, He Won't Get Far on Foot.

http://www.earlham.edu/~publicaf/kumin090600.html

Extractions: Next Convocation Speaker RICHMOND, Indiana Pulitzer Prize winning poet Maxine Kumin will deliver "A Poetry Reading with Asides" at the next Earlham College convocation, 1 p.m. Wednesday, September 13, in Goddard Auditorium. The public is welcome and admission is free. Kumin is the author of a dozen books of poetry, including Up Country: Poems of New England for which she won a Pulitzer Prize in 1973. Her other major poetical works include Connecting the Dots, Looking for Luck (Poets' Prize), and Selected Poems, 1960-1990. She has also authored five novels, a collection of short stories, more than 20 children's books and four books of essays, including Women, Animals, and Vegetables. Her latest book, Inside the Halo and Beyond: The Anatomy of a Recovery (W.W. Norton), details her healing after a nearly fatal accident on a Vermont road in 1998. Writing at first by dictation, Kumin guides the reader through her first traumatic days in intensive care then to the rehabilitation center. Though at first words threatened to elude her, writing became a way of maintaining her sanity. She tells of her time "inside the halo," a near-medieval device of pins and metal that leaves her head immobile during her long convalescence. Kumin is currently visiting professor at Florida International University. She has also taught at Davidson College, Pitzer College, the University of Miami, and Princeton University.
