Description

Explore the literary legacy of one of the twentieth century's most significant short story writers. While Raymond Carver is widely celebrated for his fiction, he was also a dedicated poet who viewed his poetic work as central to his identity as a writer. This volume by Sandra Lee Kleppe provides a deep look into Carver's poetic output. Through comparative analysis and in-depth examination, the text makes a strong case for the quality of Carver's poems. It explores how his pursuit of poetry shaped his entire career. Readers will learn about his unique organic literary system of 'autopoetics,' a concept that relates to a paradigm shift in how we understand the relationship between different literary forms. This book is an essential resource for students and scholars interested in the evolution of modern American literature and the connection between prose and poetry in the work of a master storyteller.
