Women's Health Summary In July 1998 the poet Maxine Kumin was thrown from her carriage when her horse bolted during a competition. The type of cervical (C1-C2) fracture that she sustained is fatal before reaching the hospital in 95% of cases, and if survived, usually results in quadriplegia. This book is a memoir written in the form of a journal that begins on the day of the accident. In fact, it was nearly a month after the accident that the poet's daughter brought writing materials to the rehab hospital, and Maxine began to dictate the journal, and the two of them filled in the temporal gaps. The journal covers her experience in the acute care hospital, the rehab facility, and the following months of convalescence at home. It ends on April 23, 1999, when Maxine climbs a hill (unassisted) near her Vermont home, looks out over the early spring vista, and concludes, "I am letting myself believe I will heal."

22. Maxine Kumin's Life And Career On maxine kumin's Life and Career. Emory Elliott, et. al. See Jean Gould, AnneSextonmaxine kumin, in Modern American Women Poets (1984), pp. 151175. http://www.english.uiuc.edu/maps/poets/g_l/kumin/life.htm

On Maxine Kumin's Life and Career Emory Elliott, et. al. "T here is no more, no less, peace of mind in the disciplined life of the barnyard than there is in the routine of the office," writes Maxine Kumin in In Deep: Country Essays (1987) after many years of raising horses on her New Hampshire farm. Typical of Kumin's temperate manner, this statement reflects the unsentimental relationship to nature and the sober acceptance of human limitations that characterize her poetry. Family relationships, husbandry, and the inner life of women as they negotiate various rolesmother, daughter, sister, loverare the subjects that have dominated Kumin's verse since the appearance of her first book, Halfway , in 1961. Her maturation as a poet coincides with the emergence in American literature of women writing more frankly than ever before about their experiences. Although she has rarely been as explicitly political as such feminist poets as Adrienne Rich, Kumin typically summons to her aid a vision of female solidarity, as in the prayerlike hope expressed in "The Envelope" (1978): "May we carry our mothers forth in our bellies." A close friend of the poet Anne Sexton until Sexton's suicide in 1975, Kumin has said that they frequently shared their works in progress and had an enormous influence on each other. Kumin is, however, careful to draw distinctions. Calling herself a skeptic, she points out in a 1985 interview with Diana George that Sexton was "much more of an extremist and an absolutist in her search for a deity." A critic has claimed that Kumin "keeps her demons bridled," refraining, for the most part, from the explicit exposition of psychic trauma that marks the work of Sexton and of Sylvia Plath. Understatement, rather than rage or passion, is Kumin's hallmark. Thus, the burning houses in "The Longing to Be Saved" (1978) indirectly suggest Kumin's ambivalence about the domestic settings so prevalent in her work. Are not we all, she seems to ask, yearning to be rescued from our homes?

Maxine Kumin >> back to poet page >> back to book page Afoot in Grays Point Without a single peep-hole through the crimson blare of bougainvillea, she jogs the empty street, voyeur peering down private drives through iron gates, to keep secret watch how heavily the freighted houses sleep and as the day grows brighter how cobalt blue the bins curbside for cardboard, plastic jugs junk mail, newsprint, and cans how jauntily Green Meadows Landscape Care, three palms a freehand frieze on the panel truck shatters the sunrise calm. How Zephyr Hills thereafter succeeds the mowers' pother hiking natural spring water from one shoulder to the other Miami Rescue Mission following close behind to suck up a scuttled desk beside a television gone blind in which she sees reflected a bank of cumuli which shift as she approaches, while a single dove nearby tests the newly sheared and pesticided lawn then breasts the stuccoed wall that keeps the golden people in. The Long Marriage The sweet jazz of their college days spools over them where they lie on the dark lake of night growing old unevenly: the sexual thrill of Peewee Russell's clarinet; Jack
