It is impossible to imagine what American poetry in the twentieth
century might look like without the magnanimity of the late James
Laughlin, poet and publisher of New Directions. Among Laughlin's
closest friends was poet Hayden Carruth, who served as author,
editor, clerk, and typist for New Directions and, at a more
personal level, "poetry doctor" for Laughlin himself. Beside the
Shadblow Tree is the meditation of one great old poet upon the
death of another, upon two lives intertwined in various ways for
half a century. And because this book is utterly candid -
spontaneous and true to what Carruth calls "the actual mental flow"
- it moves us in ways conventional memoirs rarely do.
