About this audiobook

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.

    A delightful ensemble of poems. I was not even aware Carver wrote stories before reading this collection. They penetrate and cause one to consider and think- feel and appreciate. Overall, a very worthwhile collection for all interested in poetry.4.5 stars!

    Carver is a minimalist, where his words are neither flashy nor eloquent, but his poems, like his stories are succinct with feeling. He speaks of raw hardships with a gruff demeanour and tone, but sentimentality runs through each context from pondering the rain, being driven to madness by a lover, to the finality and cost of a father’s death. You will read through the pages easily—not because the subject is light or fond—but because Carver will not woo you into believing his fantasies, but show you the underbelly of truths you can neither deny nor walk away from.
