Where Water Comes Together with Other Water

Raymond Carver. Vintage Books USA, $15 (130pp) ISBN 978-0-394-74327-1

Best-known for his wonderful short stories (What We Talk About When We Talk About Love, etc.), Carver works the same narrative magic in these poems. In everyday language he offers memories of his family and past loves, uses fishing and hunting events to portray his innermost thoughts about life and death. PW called these poems ""accessible and lovely.'' (April)
