Doctor Jazz Hayden Carruth

Hayden Carruth, one of the most acclaimed poets of our age, lives his music?finding the perfect low tones of terrible loss and high riffs of family and friendship.

"Carruth keeps getting better."?The New Yorker

"Carruth?s new poems are, essentially, songs of praise and celebrations of beauty; for all the real anguish and pain they record, they remain enactments of a fundamental attitude of faith and wonder."?Times Literary Supplement (London)

"The elegiac gravity of ?Dearest M?,? on a daughter?s death, refuses to release us until its final syllable."?Library Journal (starred review)
