New York: W.W. Norton, 1997. First Edition. 8vo, publisher's original purple cloth over boards in the original dust jacket. 294 pp. A fine bright copy in the dust jacket. “Gathered from nine collections representing three decades of work, these poems newly available in a rich and varied volume - celebrate the growth of a major artist. As the Christian Science Monitor has noted, ‘Maxine Kumin makes fine poems out of ordinary things...In their nourishment, their closeness of fit, their durable beauty, her poems attest an art nearly invisible...Here are lines that would have rejoiced even the persnickety Thoreau.’ Using language that is radiant and direct, Kumin’s lyric and narrative gifts are everywhere in evidence in this stellar volume. These are poems to relish, to connect us - readers both familiar with Kumin’s earlier work and new to it -to her wise and compelling voice.”- Publisher
