Jacket art and design: Paul Bacon. keywords: American Literature. DESCRIPTION - As a short-story writer, Raymond Carver has been acclaimed as one of the true contemporary masters (Robert Towers, The New York Review of Books ) whose stories can already be counted among the masterpieces of American fiction (Irving Howe, front page, The New York Times Book Review). Now, with his first major collection of poems, Carver displays for his considerable audience, and for all readers of poetry, his gifts in this form. In some respects he was first and foremost a poet, having published three small-press collectionsNear Klamath, Winter Insomnia and At Night the Salmon Movebefore establishing himself as a fiction writer. Recently Carver has returned to poetry, collecting in this book all his new work. Readers unfamiliar with Raymond Carver's poetry will not fail to notice a certain resemblance to his fiction. As The Bloomsbury Review has commented, Carver draws poetic effects, not unlike he does in his stories, from the commonplace. Even the diction of his poems is prose-like. In fact, Carver's poems bring us back to the 'real world' more forcibly than his stories, because we generally expect poetry to transport us to realms beyond the ordinary. Yet Where Water Comes Together with Other Water has a range and variety that will surprise many readers, and in fact it is Carver's sure command of his various poems that most clearly demonstrates his strength and confidence. While some poemsstories about drinking, divorce, emotional ruin and hopelessness are marked by a painful intensity, others are remarkable for language as graceful and exuberant as suits the themes of friendship, love and the happy coincidences of everyday life. In sum, then, Where Water Comes Together with Other Water amplifies and enlarges the achievement of Raymond Carver, a writer of astonishing compassion and honesty [whose] eye is so clear, it almost breaks your heart Jonathan Yardley, The Washington Post Book World). inventory #2049.
