Jared Carter Poetry

Well crafted, philosophically profound, and eminently readable... the finest, most varied, and most rewarding volume of poetry published in 1993. Robert McPhillips, Dictionary of Literary Biography Yearbook, 1994

A moving and magical book, charming in the best sense of that word... Jared Carter is the real thing. Ted Kooser, New Letters Book Reviewer

A poet thoroughly in the American grain... After the Rain has a metaphysical complexity entirely in keeping with its great Shaker virtues of simplicity, clean line, and practical design. Robert Hosmer, Southern Review

Extraordinary... a dark, haunting book in the tradition of Frost. Dana Gioia, Washington Post
