Welcome to Litsy!

I don't like Carver's fiction but I do like his poetry. 🤷

Being out in the field gave me more time to read than I could have hoped for. Every time I read Carver I‘m floored by the apparent simplicity of his stories that simultaneously tear up your heart and mind by the end.

"It's possible, in a poem or short story, to write about commonplace things and objects using commonplace but precise language, and to endow those things ... with immense, even startling power. That's the kind of writing that interests me." Hear, hear Mr Carver!
