Collected here for the first time, these early poems inhabit Maxine Kumin's own 'sneakstorm time'. This is the space one step to the side, where quiet introspection examines the pain of loss, the idealism of youth, and the endurance of the natural world. Here, as ever, Kumin's ability to find depth in particularity infuses her verse with a richness both illuminating and inspiring. And perhaps at her most revealing, Kumin shares a glimpse of the early years spent with her friend Anne Sexton in 'For Anne at Passover.' Trenchant but gentle, inexorable but tender, Bringing Together furnishes unique insight into the development of one of American's greatest living poets.
