Maxine Kumin

Jack and Other New Poems

“Measured but warm, this work draws you in; it is another success among her many titles.”—Library Journal

In Maxine Kumin’s fifteenth collection—with death the central theme—poems of the body and praise songs for beloved animals explore how memory consoles and haunts.

“With a no-frills delivery and lines as crisp as the winter landscape she favors, Kumin’s poetry is free of posturing and refreshingly direct.”—Book Page
