A poet of piercing revelations and arresting imagery, Pulitzer Prize
winner Maxine Kumin is "unforgettable, indispensable" (New York Times
Book Review). In And Short the Season, her stunning last collection,
she muses on mortality: her own, and that of the earth. These deeply
personal, always political poems blend myth and modernity, fecundity and
death, and the violence and tenderness of humankind.
