from âThe Taste of Appleâ
     I could hardly see as he hoisted the great swaying body aloft
     and bore it across the road to the hole and in the cold dark I poured
     a libation of apple juice for the earth to welcome his corpseâ
     some drops spilled on his chestnut flank and some dribbled
     on his cheek and splashed onto his yellow teeth as he lay
     deep on one side and my hand shookâI could hardly seeâ
     rocking my grief back and forth over this kind death
     the taste of apple wasting in his mouth.
âThe power that Kumin draws from and brings to literature is potent and seemingly inexhaustible.ââBooklist
