Maxine Kumin: The poetry of a New England landscape An interview by Daina Savage, October 1994 Maxine Kumin barely has time to catch her breath on an autumn day at her New Hampshire farm. "I'm off to bring in the horses," the state's Poet Laurete said as she ended a brief phone interview. Evening feedings, mucking stalls, mending fences all call her away. But it is just these tasks that later find their way into her writings. The craggy wilderness of her 200-acre farm the small meadow that feeds her barnful of horses each summer, the sugar maples that color her fall and fill buckets with their sweet sap each spring is the landscape of her verse. It is a place that raspberries fall off their stems into pails. The woods bloom with mushrooms bursting from the hollows of oak trees. And a strawberry roan mare with the coloring of the freckled variety of redheaded women can stand "swashbuckling the flies and mosquitoes with her bug repellent-larded tail." It is the place the Pulitzer Prize-winning poet calls home. "My poetry is pretty much centered in New England, but more poetry of people and animals than of landscape," said the writer whose plain, direct style often evokes comparisons to Robert Frost. "I supposed it could be called pastoral, but not a romanticized pastoral. It has real manure in it and real rain, and real anguish and loss just as much as it has some of the sunny hours."

In 1999, however, at the age of seventy-four, her life dramatically changed when she was nearly killed in a horse-driving accident. This past November, following a difficult recovery, Kumin published The Long Marriage , her first book of poetry since the accident. The poems in The Long Marriage draw from Kumin's close relationship with the natural world on her family's farm, her overcoming of her physical injuries, and her feelings about her friend, the poet Anne Sexton, who committed suicide in 1974. (Kumin was the last to have spent time with her, chatting about poetry over a lunch of tuna-fish sandwiches and vodka, and Sexton's death still haunts Kumin's work; references to it are found in The Long Marriage 's "Three Dreams after a Suicide," "The Ancient Lady Poets," and "Oblivion.") The youngest of four children born to a Jewish pawnbroker and his wife, Maxine Kumin studied history and literature at Radcliffe, where, in 1945, she met Victor Kumin, a Harvard graduate on furlough from the Army. The pair married a year later. Poetry was not an important part of Kumin's life until 1957, when she enrolled in a poetry workshop offered by the Boston Center for Adult Education. The workshop's instructor, John Holmes, soon realized there were two major talents in the workshop: Kumin and classmate Anne Sexton, who was, like Kumin, married with children and living in suburban Boston. Kumin and Sexton began commuting to class together and became inseparable. With Sexton's support, along with that of Holmes and other members of the workshop, Kumin began to take her poetry seriously and to garner public acclaim for her work. Her first collection of poems

Z Search All Criticism: Printable Version Download PDF Cite this Page Maxine Kumin 1925– (Full name Maxine Winokur Kumin) American poet, novelist, short fiction writer, essayist, and author of children's books. INTRODUCTION Kumin is a Pulitzer Prize-winning poet whose verse often portrays the simple workings of day-to-day life at her Warner, New Hampshire, farm. Animals, children, the seasons, and neighbors are recurring subjects. Often classified as a transcendentalist, Kumin probes the human relationship to nature and celebrates the redemptive qual ities of the natural world. Her writing has been compared to that of her late close friend, Anne Sexton, and in some aspects to the work of Sylvia Plath. Like Sexton, Kumin writes personal poems that focus on the inner lives of her characters. Unlike Sexton or Plath, however, she does not dwell on despair; thus, she is known for her survival poems. Biographical Information Kumin was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. She earned a B.A. and an M.A. from Radcliffe College in 1946 and 1948 respectively, and married Victor Kumin in 1946. While awaiting the birth of her third child, she began to write children's stories. Her writing interests evolved to include poetry, novels, short fiction, and essays. She found encouragement for her writing at the Boston Center for Adult Education, where she met and befriended poet Anne Sexton. Kumin and Sexton's friendship was important to both women's poetry. The former possessed a technical ability honed from study; the latter wrote with a raw voice that was brilliantly fresh. They phoned each other daily, often writing a poem after ending the phone call. Each call was another session in their own continual workshopping. In fact, Sexton titled Kumin's
