All of Us: Collected Poems by Raymond Carver
Requirements: epub reader, 3.5mb
Overview: This prodigiously rich collection suggests that Raymond Carver was not only America’s finest writer of short fiction, but also one of its most large-hearted and affecting poets. Like Carver’s stories, the more than 300 poems in All of Us are marked by a keen attention to the physical world; an uncanny ability to compress vast feeling into discreet moments; a voice of conversational intimacy, and an unstinting sympathy.
Genre: poetry, classics
“Raymond Carver wrote beautiful poems: tender, lucid and direct. If he hadn’t written his stories, he would be acknowledged as the splendid poet he is. But, like Thomas Hardy, the prose overshadows the poems. That is bound to change with time, as it has with Hardy, another formidable artist in both genres.”
— Carolyn Kizer
“Among the great American writers of the 20th century, no question, Carver is the most endearing. He carries our humanity into the 21st.”
— Hayden Carruth
“Carver’s mature poetry shares many of the strengths of his short stories—a compassion that never makes excuses or romanticizes, and a directness that is never merely prosaic. This poetry hits home.… [T]he major poems embed themselves in the memory with the honed simplicity of a blues riff.”
—Poetry Flash
“[Carver’s poetry is] infused with a largesse of spirit that adds a new dimension to the impression of the man left by the cool perfection of his stories.… The cumulative effect is exhilarating.”
—Times Literary Supplement (London)
