About the Author:
"Jared Carter's first collection of poems, Work, for the Night is Coming , won the Walt Whitman Award."
Review:
"From beginning to end, this volume has the quiet passion of conviction, the voice of a poet who knows exactly what he wants to say and how to say it... Behind the range of styles and approaches, one recognizes a single honest and contemporary voice." These are loving poems, delivered in a quiet, authoritative voice; the reader slips into their flow..." ----Dana Gioia, Poetry
These are loving poems, delivered in a quiet, authoritative voice; the reader slips into their flow and partakes of a communion... [This] is a remarkable achievement." ----Bruce Bennett, New York Times Book Review
Carter's is a poetry of a resolute middle distance, firmly of this world: between the dust under the earth and the dust of space there exists the place that the poem can illumine." ----Helen Vendler, New York Review of Books
