All of Us: The Collected Poems.
London: Harvill, 1996. First Printing of the First UK Edition. A Fine tight copy in a Fine bright dust jacket. The U.S. Edition was published two years after this UK edition. This rich collection suggests that Raymond Carver was not only America’s finest writer of short fiction, but also one of its most large-hearted and affecting poets. Like Carver’s stories, the more than 300 poems in All of Us are marked by a keen attention to the physical world; an uncanny ability to compress vast feeling into discreet moments; a voice of conversational intimacy, and an unstinting sympathy. This complete edition brings together all the poems of Carver’s five previous books, from Fires to the posthumously published No Heroics, Please. Item #23062
