520 1 $a"Throughout her career, Pulitzer Prize - winning poet Maxine Kumin has been at the vanguard of discussions about feminism and sexism, the state of poetry, and our place in the natural world. "The Roots of Things" gathers into one volume her best essays on the issues that have been closest to her throughout her storied career." "Divided into sections on 'Taking Root', 'Poets and Poetry', and 'Country Living', these pieces reveal Kumin honing her views within a variety of forms, including speeches, critical essays, and introductions of other writers' work. Whether she is recollecting scenes from her childhood, ruminating on the ups and downs of what she calls 'pobiz' (for 'poetry business'), describing the battles she's fought on behalf of women, or illuminating the lives of animals, Kumin offers insight that can only be born of long and closely observed experience."--BOOK JACKET.
