Edizione: “maxine kumin’s poetry has always been acclaimed for its toughness as well as its candor, and above all for its ‘language both exact and graceful, concerned with the range of human experience’(boston globe). perhaps may swenson described it best: ‘stunning, large-hearted, original and acute.’ now, in long approach, ms. kumin continues to redefine and expand her own definition of excellence-and sharpens with a new apocalyptic edge the lyricism and virtuosity we have come to expect from her.<br> “the long approach shows us a poet at the top of her form who is still eager to venture into dangerous territory-and the result is her riskiest, most exciting, and most rewarding work yet.”-publisher.
