About This Item
New York: Harper and Row, 1970. First Edition. 8vo, original red cloth lettered in blue on the spine, in the original dust jacket. 94 pp. A fine and bright copy with a small abrasion to the paste-down of the front hinge in the original publisher’s dust jacket. “This third collection of poems by Maxine Kumin records a delving toward roots-within the poet, among ancestors and offspring, in the natural world, in a heritage unremarked until the past is thrust upon the present. This stirring of roots is often painful, but compassion and solace are implicit in the poet’s understanding.”-Publisher
“Almost wherever I open the book I see something fine and beautifully phrased. It seems to me her best work so far.”-Howard Nemerov
