"I began as a poet. My first publication was a poem. So I suppose on my tombstone I'd be very pleased if they put 'Poet and short story writer and occasional essayist'. In that order" [Raymond Carver] ***The keynote in Raymond Carver's last collection of poetry, which he completed shortly before he died, is a delight in the gift of the present, rather than regret for the past.
