Maxine Kumin
Poet Maxine Kumin has always incorporated a lot of dreams in her poetry; the following are just examples out of dozens. She won a Pulitzer Prize for her collection Up Country in 1970 and she's just as intense today as she was then. Our Ground Time Here Will Be Brief (1982) and Selected Poems, 1960-1990 (1997) are two large collections of her poetry. She's also written several mysteries.
