Raymond Carver finished A New Path To The Waterfall shortly before his death in
August 1988. These fifty poems--as hard and clear and emotionally pure as his s
hort stories--chart a human journey: false starts and redemptions, the discovery
of happiness, memory, and leave-taking, and the full apprehension of mortality.
An avowal of love, this collection is also a haunting record of Carver's approa
ch to death.
