Awarded Poetry Magazine's Levinson Prize

"Over the years, Raymond Carver has been writing poetry alongside his fiction...and the most vigorous poems in this new collection function as distilled, heightened versions of his stories, offering us fugitive glimpses of ordinary lives on the edge."--Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times

"There is a severity of language, an understatement of emotion, that endows the poems of his first major collection with the feel of extraordinary experience. We trust him because of the plainly conversational diction and the lapel-grabbing rhythms...They are very, very memorable."--Poetry
Raymond Carver was born in Clatskanie, Oregon, in 1938. His first collection of stories, Will You Please Be Quiet, Please (a National Book Award nominee in 1977), was followed by What We Talk About When We Talk About Love, Cathedral (nominated for the Pulitzer Prize in 1984), and Where I'm Calling From in 1988, when he was inducted into the American Academy of Arts and Letters. He died August 2, 1988, shortly after completing the poems of A New Path to the Waterfall. View titles by Raymond Carver
