Men in the Off Hours

"It's hard to say what really interests Carson, largely because so much does....Certainly there are weaknesses in the book, though to me its grab-bag character isn't one of them....[T]here's good reason that Carson's reputation has soared to a level equal to that of the half-dozen most admired contemporary American poets. She's tremendously gifted and, without lowering standards, often writes in a middle range between philosophy and lyricism, where many can find her."Carson, Anne is the author of 'Men in the Off Hours', published 2001 under ISBN 9780375707568 and ISBN 0375707565.
