Maxine Kumin: The poetry of a New England landscape An interview by Daina Savage, October 1994 Maxine Kumin barely has time to catch her breath on an autumn day at her New Hampshire farm. "I'm off to bring in the horses," the state's Poet Laurete said as she ended a brief phone interview. Evening feedings, mucking stalls, mending fences all call her away. But it is just these tasks that later find their way into her writings. The craggy wilderness of her 200-acre farm the small meadow that feeds her barnful of horses each summer, the sugar maples that color her fall and fill buckets with their sweet sap each spring is the landscape of her verse. It is a place that raspberries fall off their stems into pails. The woods bloom with mushrooms bursting from the hollows of oak trees. And a strawberry roan mare with the coloring of the freckled variety of redheaded women can stand "swashbuckling the flies and mosquitoes with her bug repellent-larded tail." It is the place the Pulitzer Prize-winning poet calls home. "My poetry is pretty much centered in New England, but more poetry of people and animals than of landscape," said the writer whose plain, direct style often evokes comparisons to Robert Frost. "I supposed it could be called pastoral, but not a romanticized pastoral. It has real manure in it and real rain, and real anguish and loss just as much as it has some of the sunny hours."

MAXINE KUMIN Getting Through I want to apologize For all the snow falling in This Poem so early in the season. Falling on the calendar of bad news. Already we have had snow lucid, Snow surprising, snow bees And lambswool snow. Already Snows of exaltation have covered Some scars. Larks and the likes Of paisleys went up. But lately the sky Is letting down large-print flakes Of old age. Loving this poor place, Wanting to stay on, we have endured An elegiac snow of whitest jade, Subdued biographical snows And public storms, official and profuse. Even if the world is ending You can tell it’s February By the architecture of the pastures. Snow falls on the pregnant mares, Is followed by a thaw, and then Refreezes so that everywhere Maxine Kumin Their hill upheaves into a glass mountain. The horses skid, stiff-legged, correct Position, break through the crust And stand around disconsolate Lipping wisps of hay. Animals are said to be soulless. Unable to anticipate. No mail today. No newspapers. The phone’s dead. Bombs and grenades, the newly disappeared

Maxine Kumin Born Maxine Winokur, Kumin attended Radcliffe College (B.A., 1946; M. A, 1948), and has lectured at many universities, including Princeton, Tufts, and Brandeis. She is the author of several collections of poetry, including Up Country (1972), for which she won a Pulitzer Prize, and, most recently, Nurture (1989), Looking for Luck: Poems (1992), and Connecting the Dots: Poems (1996). She has also published several novels, collections of essays and short stories, and more than twenty children's books, several of them in collaboration with the poet Anne Sexton. Kumin was born in Germantown, Philadelphia, in 1925, attainted a BA and MA from Radcliffe before it was subsumed by Harvard, and now lives with her husband of 55 years in an old farmhouse in central New Hampshire. Here, their three children grown and gone, they have raised ten foals, a succession of dogs and cats, a few sheep, organic vegetables, and for several springs, tended a hundred sugar-maple tree taps. Both Kumins were avid horseback riders and competed in distance rides, carriage drives, and three-phase events. In July of 1998, Maxine had a near-fatal carriage driving accident, recorded in her memoir, Inside the Halo and Beyond: Anatomy of a Recovery.

Three Poems "Hard Frost: On a Line by Hopkins" "Highway Hypothesis" "The Long Marriage" from Maxine Kumin's The Long Marriage Online Bookstore Listing Maxine Kumin: Maxine Kumin lives on a horse farm in central New Hampshire. She has published twelve volumes of poetry, as well as novels, short stories, and collections of essays. Her Selected Poems: 1960-1990 was a New York Times Notable Book of the Year. In addition to being awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry in 1973, she has been Poet Laureate of New Hampshire. Her most recent awards are the Ruth Lilly Prize and the Robert Frost Contemporary American Award. (Photograph of Maxine Kumin by Ruth Hutton) About The Long Marriage After her near-fatal accident, chronicled in her remarkable memoir, Inside the Halo and Beyond , Maxine Kumin feared that poetry might have "deserted" her. This luminous, reflective collection proves her wrong, and it is a special cause for celebration. Themes of loyalty, longevity, and recovery appear here, and in a series of poems Kumin finds inspiration in addressing other poets, especially the eminent dead: "Skinnydipping with Wordsworth," "Imagining Marianne Moore in a Butterfly Garden," "Rilke Revisited." Especially intimate and poignant are poems about Anne Sexton, "Three Dreams After a Suicide." Finally, nature, both directly and metaphorically, continues to engage Kumin. "Inescapably," she says, many poems come up out of the earth I live on and tend to." The Long Marriage , Maxine Kumin's thirteenth book of poems, is mightily welcomed. Among poets of my generation, she is nearest to my heart. We were born in the twenties, delivered into the grip of female convention and social imprisonment. Somehow, sometimes, we achieved long marriages to the men we married when we were young; we were supported by long marriages to poetry, to the natural world, above all to the feminism that rescued and inspired us. Now, as always, Kumin bears witness to our generation's amazing transformations."

She has received numerous awards including the Pulitzer Prize, the Poets' Prize, the Levinson Prize, and, most recently, the Ruth Lilly Poetry Prize. She lives and writes in New Hampshire. Connecting The Dots Hardcover Maxine Kumin 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. 1st Edition Unsigned $23.95
