Maxine Kumin

Looking for Luck

"Her poems become increasingly unforgettable, indispensable. . . . Thoreau would commend her honesty, the precision of her language and her occasional moral allegory."—New York Times Book Review

"From a marketplace in Bangkok to the fields of New Hampshire, from recollections of her own childhood to celebrations of an infant grandson, Kumin stakes her far-flung claims with authority in her tenth book of poetry."—Publishers Weekly
