"Mr. Carver is heir to that most
appealing American poetic voice, the
lyricism of
Theodore Roethke and James Wright.... this book is a treasure, one to return to. No one's
brevity is as rich, as complete, as
Raymond Carver's."
--
New York Times Book Review"Carver's gifts as a
storyteller shine through his poetry.... Sometimes a Carver poem also works as a short story, with all its elements--character, diction, place, event--compressed intact into the brevity of verse. And sometimes Carver delivers the goods in pure lyrical form, in words as full of yearning and sensibility as those of a very young man, but poems possessing the hard-won qualities of focus, stillness and irony only rewarded by experience."
