Hayden Carruth

Copper Canyon Press, 1992

A Gathering of the Best of the Best
One of the most significant poetry publications at the end of the twentieth century is Hayden Carruth's Collected Shorter Poems. For too long Carruth suffered the lack of a consistent publisher; as a result, much of his best work has gone unnoticed or too little ...

The bird/poem book;: Poems on the wild birds of North America
