This review is from: From Snow and Rock, from Chaos: Poems 1965-1972 (New Directions Books) (Paperback)
Hayden Carruth, From Snow and Rock, from Chaos (New Directions, 1973)Hayden Carruth has long been one of the finest poets America has to offer, and this slim volume offers a good number of reasons why. The fifty-eight pages of this collection (which can still be found for its extremely low cover price at Amazon thirty years later!) are far less intimidating to the Carruth novice than the eight hundred plus of Collected Shorter Poems 1946-1991, and while the book doesn't include anything of the magnitude of "Ray" or The Bloomingdale Papers, there is more than enough brilliance here to whet the reader's appetite for more of Carruth's soft, often witty poetry. Moving between structure and free verse with a sure hand in both, there is something in this collection for just about everyone. If you haven't yet discovered Carruth, this is an excellent starting point. **** ½

Hayden Carruth is likely the best American poet of my generation. A shy, tough man with a sparkling bright intellect and a mastery of words. Bill Shepherd
