Scrambled Eggs & Whiskey by Hayden Carruth
A candid, plainspoken collection of poems that blends wry humor and deep melancholy while confronting aging, illness, memory, and the small beauties of rural American life. The speaker moves between intimate domestic scenes, recollections of youth, and acute observations of landscape and neighbors, often meditating on drinking, mortality, and the body with compassion and gritty honesty. The voice is conversational yet musically controlled, using rustic imagery and philosophical reflection to register human frailty, resilience, and the sustaining power of language and everyday moments.
