For sometimes it does seem that night dreams have lives of their own, from Up Country: Poems of New England. For this book, Kumin shared illustrator Barbara Swan with her friend, Anne Sexton.
from The Dreamer, The Dream / by Maxine Kumin
and all this they do in secret
climbing behind his back
lumbering from their dark fissure
going up like a dream going on
For every animal, place, color, and weather is poetry if you look for it, from There’s the Hand and There’s the Arid Chair.
from The Suns / by Tomaž Šalamun

Rest in peace and mew.
It’s warm in the snow.
