Poetry of Raymond Carver (Electronic book text)

Best known as one of the great short story writers of the twentieth century, Raymond Carver also published several volumes of poetry and considered himself as much a poet as a fiction writer. Sandra Lee Kleppe focuses particularly on the complex literary and scientific systems that influenced Carver s development as a writer as she makes a case for the quality of Carver s poetic output and the centrality of poetry to Carver s career."
