Morning Swim
Into my empty head there come
a cotton beach, a dock wherefrom
I set out, oily and nude
through mist, in chilly solitude.
There was no line, no roof or floor
to tell the water from the air.
Night fog thick as terry cloth
closed me in its fuzzy growth. I hung my bathrobe on two pegs. I took the lake between my legs. Invaded and invader, I went overhand on that flat sky. Fish twitched beneath me, quick and tame. In their green zone they sang my name and in the rhythm of the swim I hummed a two-four-time slow hymn. I hummed "Abide With Me." The beat rose in the fine thrash of my feet, rose in the bubbles I put out slantwise, trailing through my mouth. My bones drank water; water fell through all my doors. I was the well that fed the lake that met my sea in which I sang "Abide With Me." Home

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.

By: Maxine Kumin The Brother
By: Victoria "Maggie" Jones Gassing the woodchucks didn't turn out right. The knockout bomb from the Feed and Grain Exchange was featured as merciful, quick at the bone and the case we had against them was airtight, both exits shoehorned shut with puddingstone, but they had a sub-sub-basement out of range. Next morning they turned up again, no worse for the cyanide than we for our cigarettes and state-store Scotch, all of us up to scratch. They brought down the marigolds as a matter of course and then took over the vegetable patch nipping the broccoli shoots, beheading the carrots. The food from our mouths, I said, righteously thrilling to the feel of the .22, the bullets' neat noses. I, a lapsed pacifist fallen from grace puffed with Darwinian pieties for killing, now drew a bead on the little woodchuck's face. He died down in the ever bearing roses. Ten minutes later I dropped the mother. She

maxine kumin New Life in a Barn. Steven Ratiner. The literature of our time is 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."

Download PDF Maxine Kumin was born Maxine Winokur in Philadelphia on June 6, 1925, and has spent most of her life in New England. She earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees from Radcliffe College, during which time she met and married Victor Kumin, a Harvard graduate. The couple settled in suburban Boston, but Kumin did not begin publishing poetry until nearly ten years after that. In 1957, she enrolled in a poetry workshop where she met another suburban Boston housewife—and another soon-tobe major poet—Anne Sexton. Kumin and Sexton began a friendship, which included writing children’s books together, that lasted until seventeen years later when Sexton, long troubled by depression and psychosis, committed suicide.
In the late 1950s,...

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

60. Spinal Chord Injury And Rehabilitation --- Maxine Kumin
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.
http://www.ralphmag.org/halo-kuminZO.html
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.
