“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.” —Los Angeles Times
