Edizione: “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.<br> “with this new collection, norton welcomes a poet honored by readers, critics, and other poets. the poems here are part of a continuum, pursuing themes of abiding interest to maxine kumin: survival, on a personal level and as a species; our obligations to and intimate relationships with animals and the land; the connections of marriage, children, and family.the collection is bonded by the two poems on the epilogue and prologue, in which human and animal merge almost into one being. ‘i long to discover and cross that boundary,’ the poet says, ‘and make it accessible to others.’”-publisher
