Reviews
"In her final collection…Kumin is as graceful and unsparing as ever, tenderly lamenting our violations against nature and each other." — Michael Andor Brodeur, Boston Globe
"Reading [Kumin’s] poems is an experience of sitting with a friend, a wonderfully talented friend who can describe all of life, in a poem." — Jewish Book World
"Her poetry represented both an alertness to and an investment in the sanctified details of the natural world, a love of the music of the commonplace." — Philip Schultz, The New Yorker
"Alongside her friend and collaborator Anne Sexton, [Kumin] embarked on a career that helped redefine what American poetry could be." — Hector Tobar, Los Angeles Times
"Unlike many of her contemporaries, including Anne Sexton, Kumin knew how to trim the deadness around her, letting the life come through for decades… Short the season, but long the legacy." — Amber Tamblyn, Bust
"Exquisite pastorals of her New Hampshire farm mix with politics and echoes of past poets, possessing a directness that makes each piece necessary and vital." — Publishers Weekly
"Filled with joy, sorrow, anger, mortality, politics and horses." — Tom Lavoie, Shelf Awareness
