Collected Shorter Poems, 1946-1991 by Hayden Carruth

Lyric, erotic, and meditative, this collection stands as a monument to the technical virtuosity of one of the major poets of our time. "Rarely do poets earn the unqualified admiration of both their academic and experimental peers, but Carruth--through his artistic versatility and critical ecumenism--has been doing just that for half a century."--Library Journal

Hayden Carruth (1921-2008) lived in northern Vermont for many years before moving to upstate New York to teach at Syracuse University. Scrambled Eggs & Whiskey earned the National Book Award, while Collected Shorter Poems won the National Book Critics Circle Award.
