Reluctantly by Hayden Carruth
Cultural Writing. Autobiographical Essays. These touching and intimate essays reveal the integrity of Hayden Carruth -- one of the most solitary, esteemed, and controversial poets of this century. Despite his wide erudition, he has lived largely outside academia. These essays chronicle a lifetime of wrestling with his personal demons and muses; time spent hospitalized for severe chronic depression; a passionate love of jazz and blues; his suicide attempt; and most of all, his uncommon, unflinching honesty.
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.
