Clayton,
indeed, he died 'young'. one of my old teachers was taught by Carver; from
all reports he didn't enjoy teaching terribly much. he was known to tear up
student's writing after the reading the first line; he demanded that
students wrote in a style similar to his - intense, concentrated, dry.
in fact, my teacher believed that Carver's experiences with teaching
contributed to his early death.
regards,
Will
