R.I.P. Maxine Kumin (June 6, 1925 - February 6, 2014)



Upon hearing about Maxine,
I wondered how he had been.
And remembered “The Long Approach,”
Sent to my poetry coach,
By the dearly departed.

When I bought it, I thought him dead
It was implied in Wiscasset,
If not said. And internet
connected, we met yet again
for talk of poetry way back when.
