Raymond Carver’s collections are the core of his literary legacy. The twenty-six volumes span from early poetry chapbooks to posthumous compilations. The landmark collections are What We Talk About When We Talk About Love (1981) and Cathedral (1983).
Later compilations like Call If You Need Me (2000) and Beginners (2009) offered new looks at familiar work, including original unedited versions of stories that Gordon Lish had famously cut.
