Selected Poems, 1960-1990

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. Since the publication of her first book of poetry, Halfway, Maxine Kumin has been powerfully and fruitfully engaged in the "stuff of life that matters" family, friendship, the bond between the human and natural world, and the themes of loss and survival.
