It's the hour years ago I used to call my parents or they'd call me. The phone rings. Idly empty of expectation I answer. It's my father's voice. Pop! I say , you're dead! Don't you remember that final heart attack, Dallas, just before Kennedy was shot? Time means nothing here, kiddo. He's jolly, expansive. You can wait eons for an open line. Time gets used up but comes back. You know.

43. The Face And Place Of Poetry maxine kumin New Life in a Barn. Steven Ratiner. The literature of our timeis richer and more humane for the caretaking of poets like maxine kumin. http://www.csmonitor.com/atcsmonitor/specials/poetry/p-kumin.html

May 13, 1992 Maxine Kumin: New Life in a Barn 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 arched in a full swan's S, tails cocked up over their backs like plumes on a Cavalier's hat. I trust them to gallop back, skid to a stop, their nostrils level with my mouth, asking for my human breath that they may test its intent, taste 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."

Echoes Main Biography Sample Poetry Inspired Poems ... Bibliography Victoria "Maggie" Jones 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 don’t 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 Frost’s 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.

Echoes Main Biography Sample Poetry Inspired Poems ... Bibliography Victoria "Maggie" Jones Cary Academy Sample Poem #1 Spree By: Maxine Kumin My father paces the upstairs hall a large confined animal neither wild nor yet domesticated. About him hangs the smell of righteous wrath. My mother is meekly seated at the escritoire. Rosy from the bath age eight-nine-ten by now I understand his right to roar, hers to defy the bill from Wanamaker’s in his hand the bill from Strawbridge’s held high the bill from Bonwit Teller and the all plum-colored Blum Store. His anger smells like dinner parties like trays of frothy daiquiris. Against the pre-World-War-Two prime standing ribs his carving knife flashes a little drunkenly. He charms all the other Bonwit-bedecked wives but something overripe malingers. I wear his wide cigar bands on my fingers. Oh God it is so noisy! Under my bed a secret stair a gold and purple escalator takes me nightly down under the sea.

THE USES OF EMILY 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

THE USES OF EMILY by Maxine Kumin Page 2 I'm going to be reading from The Long Approach , which is my new book, and, taking a cue from Mary, I too would like to start with a spring poem. It's a poem that begins in the winter, but ends on a happier note and it's called "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 their hill upheaves into a glass mountain. The horses skid, stiff-legged, correct

Inside the Halo And Beyond The Anatomy Of a Recovery Maxine Kumin (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.

Public Affairs Office Back to Public Affair's Front Page September 6, 2000 Poet Maxine Kumin is 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.

K umin poem New Year's Day 1959 remembering Anne Sexton and Jack Geiger This was the way we used to party: lamps unplugged, shoved in the closet rugs rolled up, furniture pushed back Glenn Miller singles on the spindle. There was the poet kicking off her shoes to jitterbug with the Physician for Social Responsibility the only time they ever met and he pecking his head to the beat swinging her out on the stalk of his arm setting all eight gores of her skirt twirling, then hauling her in for a Fred Astaire session of deep dips and both of them cutting out to strut humming along with the riffs that punctuated "Chattanooga Choo Choo." This was after Seoul and before Saigon. Coke was still a carbonated drink we added rum to. There was a French wine but someone had misplaced the curlicue and a not-yet famous novelist magicked the cork on the hinge of the back door to "Sunrise Serenade" and dance was the dark enabler.

Out of the Box Coaching and WORKING WITH THE ENNEAGRAM , Mary R. Bast, Ph.D. Background tile by Kit McGuire FOUR: Nurture From a documentary on marsupials I learn that a pillowcase makes a fine substitute pouch for an orphaned kangaroo. I am drawn to such dramas of animal rescue. They are warm in the throat. I suffer, the critic proclaims, from an overabundance of maternal genes. Bring me your fallen fledgling, your bummer lamb, lead the abused, the starvelings, into my barn. Advise the hunted deer to leap into my corn. And had there been a wild child filthy and fierce as a ferret, he is called in one nineteenth-century account a wild child to love, it is safe to assume, given my fireside inked with paw prints, there would have been room. Think of the language we two, same and not-same, might have constructed from sign, scratch, grimace, grunt, vowel: Laughter our first noun, and our long verb, howl.
