Maine is renowned for Winter's trademark sestinas, which break from
formal and thematic stodginess into hilarious new territories.
"Winter is unafraid to have a good time in his poems, and that is
fortunate, because...the more fun the writer has, the more fun the reader will have. In a sense
his poems test the limits of silliness; on a deeper level they explode the
notion that writing in a strict verse form acts as an inhibition or
signifies a conservative bent of mind." - David Lehman
"Maine is a hemmorhage of the goofy, the sinister, and the sublime."
- James Cummins
"Winter's poems are relentless attacks on the status quo ... he is a
serious new poet with talent galore, blazing a trail." - James
Tate
