Doctor Jazz

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"
"Carruths 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 daughters death, refuses to release us until its final syllable."-"Library Journal "(starred review)
