Signed By Author! A touch of shelf wear to dust jacket. Nice, sturdy copy. Signed by Maxine Kumin on title pg. "Kumin has always been a sophisticated but never flashy writer. 'Connecting the Dots', her 11th book of poems, will neither surprise nor disappoint her readers. In it, she reexamines the familiar materials of her previous books with her far-ranging eye and her technical skill. The book is, of course, largely about connecting, and as Kumin connects poem to poem, culture to culture, generation to generation, human to animal, and nation to nation, we are reconnected to some old characters. Kumin's family populate these pages as they have often done....Overall, these connections and cameos and echoes of other books make this a richly coherent volume. This is not to say that all of the poems are of a piece. The weaker poems are not redeemed by their context and the good poems would be good anywhere." Boston Book Review.
