* Raymond Carver - Collected Stories, Poems, and Nonfiction (16 books)
RAYMOND CARVER (1938 – 1988) was an American short story writer and poet who described himself as "inclined toward brevity and intensity". His work chronicled the everyday lives and problems of the working poor in the Pacific Northwest. His blue-collar characters are crushed by broken marriages, financial problems, and failed careers, but they are often unable to understand or even articulate their own anguish. Carver’s stripped-down, minimalist prose style is remarkable for its honesty and power. He is credited with helping revitalize the genre of the English-language short story in the late 20th century.
He published his first collection of stories, WILL YOU PLEASE BE QUIET, PLEASE?, in 1976. His breakout collection, WHAT WE TALK ABOUT WHEN WE TALK ABOUT LOVE (1981), received immediate acclaim and established Carver as an important figure in the literary world. It was followed by CATHEDRAL (1983), which Carver considered his watershed and is widely regarded as his masterpiece. The definitive collection of his stories, WHERE I'M CALLING FROM, was published shortly before his death in 1988.
While his short stories were what made his critical reputation, he was also an accomplished poet in the realist tradition of Robert Frost. His poetry collections include AT NIGHT THE SALMON MOVE (1976), WHERE WATER COMES TOGETHER WITH OTHER WATER (1985), and ULTRAMARINE (1986). ALL OF US: THE COLLECTED POEMS (1998) brings together all the poems of Carver’s five previous books. It also contains bibliographical and textual notes on individual poems; a chronology of Carver’s life and work; and a moving introduction by Carver’s widow, the poet Tess Gallagher.
