WILL YOU PLEASE BE QUIET, PLEASE?
With this, his first collection of stories, Raymond Carver breathed new life into the American short story and instantly became the recognized master of the form. Carver shows us the humor and tragedy that dwell in the hearts of ordinary people. His stories are the classics of our time.
Fiction/Literature
ALL OF US
Although he won his greatest acclaim as a writer of short stories, Raymond Carver began his career as a poet, and he continued to write poetry until his death in 1988. With this stunningly rich collection, the full extent of his achievement is finally evident. The more than three hundred poems in All of Us possess all the virtues of Carver’s fiction: 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 for “all of us, all of us, all of us / trying to save / our immortal souls.” This edition brings together all the poems of Carver’s four previous books, along with those posthumously published in No Heroics, Please. 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.

ULTRAMARINE
“Mr. Carver is heir to that most appealing American poetic voice, the lyricism of Theodore Roethke and James Wright.… This book is a treasure, one to return to. No one’s brevity is as rich, as complete, as Raymond Carver’s” (The New York Times Book Review).

WHERE WATER COMES TOGETHER WITH OTHER WATER
A vast collection of poems that won Poetry magazine’s Levinson Prize. “Somehow the nuances of daily experience, the warmth, humor, and reflection the poet brings to subjects are quite unlike anyone else’s” (Joseph Parisi).
