Synopsis

Despite a distinguished resume that includes a Pulitzer Prize and appointments as consultant to the Library of Congress, Chancellor of the Academy of American Poets, and New Hampshire Poet Laureate, Maxine Kumin and her work remain relatively unexamined by contemporary critics. This collection fills that gap through analyses by her fellow poets of topics like Kumin's diction and prosody, her literary forebears, and characteristic thematic patterns. Also included are poems, some first published here, to or about Maxine Kumin.
