You're fortunate to have known him personally. He never mentioned his process? I love learning about how writers get their words on the page. I'll try to find the book you recommend--thanks. I'll go visit your blog sometime today! You might enjoy my art predator blog which is more active (usually about 40 posts a month, many on literary arts).

I just stumbled across this and enjoyed it immensely. This is one of my favorite poems by one of my favorite poets, who was also a mentor and a friend. I wrote about my relationship with Carruth at my blog, www.scribbleskiff.com, not long after his death. Your reaction to the poem is touching. I too have wondered how he composed those long, lanky, lyrical lines (and titles) that weave throughout the book in which the poem was originally published, Tell Me Again... I encourage you to pick it up (it's still in print from New Directions) and read it straight through -- it's some of his best work. And, thanks in part to folks like you, I too still hear him squawking far in the distance. Nice post; thanks for sharing your thoughts. Hi, there.
