Where I live : new & selected poems, 1990-2010
\"Where I Live is a collection celebrating the remarkable poetic range of one of America's greatest living poets. Where I Live gathers poems from Maxine Kumin's five previous books. The poems take as their concern rural life, family, and poetic legacy, and they wrestle with political and social causes. Also included is a generous selection of twenty-three new poems, which expand upon themes that have preoccupied Kumin and bring her record of poetic mastery up to the present.\" \"Kumin's rare kinship with the natural world is again seen in this collection.\"--BOOK JACKET.

The Premonitory Shiver: Vol. 47, No. 3, Spring 1985
\"9 We have a society in which the poet is perceived, at least by the midcult, our Reader's Digest consumer, as a fop, a weakling, an innocent dweller in ivory towers, a possibly lovable but fuzzy, absentminded philosopher, a unicycle rider sharing the tightrope with a trained bear. How do you make a poem that speaks of social justice when, nightly on television, we are treated, for example to scenes of carnage in El Salvador, eyewitness accounts of rapes and dismemberments, and tortures so extreme that crucifixion would appear by comparison a blessed death? \"11 In the war years, Milosz explains, poetry went underground. Since a poem can usually be contained on one page, it was useful propaganda, easy to circulate. In six weeks' time it went into a second printing, was reviewed in Time, referred to in People Magazine and other non-poetry-noticing publications.17 Perhaps our delayed national guilt over the tragic mistake of Vietnam has reinforced our political backbone as poets.
