Doctor Jazz

By Hayden Carruth

Book Overview

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)
