Collected Longer Poems (National Poetry Series)

"...the poems gathered here are the best of his long works...I read this volume over a period of months, and the poems grew to be a window through which to view the evolution of a New England writer, chiseling the long bones of his literary ancestry for poetic definition, character, and, finally, form...Modest, direct, and spare--all these qualities are in abundance where his words come to paper. Carruth transcends the landscape of New England, and that, finally, is the measure of his worth. There is something here for nearly every taste..."Hayden Carruth is the author of 'Collected Longer Poems (National Poetry Series)', published 1993 under ISBN 9781556590580 and ISBN 155659058X.
