W. W. Norton & Company, 2010. This is a first edition, first printing, of Where I Live: New & Selected Poems 1990-2010 by the former Poet Laureate and Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Maxine Kumin. This collection showcases the range and depth of Kumin's work, compiling poems from five previous books alongside twenty-three new pieces.
Her poems are informed by her deep connection to the natural world and love of animals, particularly horses. They pay tribute to family relationships and to poets of the past. They mine history, quarrel and mourn losses, and find sustenance in the power of poetry, literature and art. - Jill Bialosky The Kenyon Review
