About this listen

This prodigiously rich collection suggests that Raymond Carver was not only America's finest writer of short fiction, but also one of its most large-hearted and affecting poets. Like Carver's stories, the more than 300 poems in All of Us are marked by a keen attention to the physical world; an uncanny ability to compress vast feeling into discreet moments; a voice of conversational intimacy, and an unstinting sympathy.

This complete edition brings together all the poems of Carver's five previous books, from "Fires" to the posthumously published "No Heroics, Please". It also contains a moving introduction by Carver's widow, the poet Tess Gallagher.

Critic reviews

"These are direct and lucid works…Carver's poems are dark and funny and tell tales of domestic discord, mad adventures, and sweet intimacies." ( Booklist, Starred Review)
