Wonderful prose and great stories

I was killing time waiting for a plane and found this book at the airport bookshop. I had never read any of Maxine Kumin's poetry. To give you an idea of how fluid and easy her prose is, I finished this book a few hours later. I could barely put it down. Ms. Kumin's full and fascinating life, as well as her approach to poetry, is a joy to read. I am only disappointed that there were not more of her own poems in this volume. A must-read for any lover of good writing.
