Paperback. Condition: Fair. Lyric, erotic, and meditative, this collection stands as a monument to the technical virtuosity of one of the major poets of our time.

Paperback. Condition: Good. "Carruth [is] one of the lasting literary signatures of our time."--Library Journal (starred review) "Carruth.contains multitudes."--Booklist (starred review) "Carruth is a people's poet. a virtuoso of form."--The Nation This "portable Carruth" gathers new poems with the essential works from a major American poet.

And it is crumbling, turning literally into crumbs, as the millions of infinitesimal internal connecting fibers sever and loosen. The dust trickles and seeps away. Hayden Carruth, a longtime resident of Vermont, currently lives in upstate New York, where he taught at Syracuse University. His many honors include the National Book Award and the National Book Critics Circle Award.…
