"I began as a poet. My first publication was a poem. So I suppose on my tombstone I'd be very pleased if they put 'Poet and short story writer and occasional essayist'. In that order" [Raymond Carver] ***The keynote in Raymond Carver's last collection of poetry, which he completed shortly before he died, is a delight in the gift of the present, rather than regret for the past. And in her revealing and moving introduction his widow, the writer Tess Gallagher, recounts his last days, his growing fascination with the poetic possibilities of Chekhov's stories and the way in which this life-affirming collection gradually and naturally came together'. [Quote taken from the front flap of the dustwrapper] ****First impression of the first UK edition, in very good condition.
