Hayden Carruth, one of the most acclaimed poets of our age, lives his music—finding the perfect low tones of terrible loss and high riffs of family and friendship. "Carruth keeps getting better."—The New Yorker "Carruth’s new poems are, essentially, songs of praise and celebrations of beauty; for all the real anguish and pain they record, they remain enactments of a fundamental attitude of faith and wonder."—Times Literary Supplement (London) "The elegiac gravity of ‘Dearest M—,’ on a daughter’s death, refuses to release us until its final syllable."—Library Journal (starred review)

Cultural Writing. Letters. The poet Jane Kenyon earned wide acclaim for her clear, vivid, deeply spiritual lyrics, many of them written in the face of her own mortality. During the year of her dying, Hayden Carruth's faithful correspondence, collected here, gives us rare insight into the inner life of a major poet as he confronts the loss of a dear friend. Kind, consoling, passionate, and at times wickedly funny, these letters transcend the personal, offering an extended meditation on age and death, and on the art of poetry.

Ten poems spanning fifty years, are the companion to Carruth's Collected Shorter Poems, recipient of the National Book Critics Circle Award in Poetry.

“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. Included are lyrics, short narratives, comic, meditative, and erotic poems that engage politics, music, rural poverty, and the cultural responsibility of artists. As Sam Hamill writes in the introduction: “Carruth’s great body of work is a world... Like the jazz he so loves, his poetry ranges from the formal to the spontaneous, from local vernacular to righteous oratory, from beautiful complexity to elegant understatement.” From “A Few Dilapidated Arias” “Our crumbling civilization”–a phrase I have used often during recent years, in letters to friends, even in words for public print. And what does it mean? Can a civilization crumble? At once appears the image of an old slice of bread, stale and hard, green with mold, shaped roughly like the northeastern United States, years old or more, so hard and foul that even my pal Maxie, the shepherd/husky cross who eats everything, won’t touch it. 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.

An edition of twenty poems, called The Norfolk Poems, written by the American poet Hayden Carruth between June and September 1961. Some are characteristic of the author's work, exploring the everyday activities and occurrences of life, while others are centered on how those routines are inflected by events of global importance, like the closing of the Brandenburg Gate and the controversial figure of Adolf Eichmann, the former SS officer then on trial in Israel for orchestrating the details of the Final Solution. Color appears on only two pages in the volume - the title page is printed in black and brick red, while the colophon displays the pastoral symbol of the Prairie Press in green. Moisture damage to front board. Lacking the dust jacket. 8 , 43+ 1 pages. quarter brown cloth with decorated paper-covered boards. 8vo..
