Description: Best known as one of the great short story writers of the twentieth century, Raymond Carver also published several volumes of poetry and considered himself as much a poet as a fiction writer. Sandra Lee Kleppe focuses particularly on the complex literary and scientific systems that influenced Carver's development as a writer as she makes a case for the quality of Carver's poetic output and the centrality of poetry to Carver's career.
