Steven Carter's triumph is to have established a sort of universal ethic of 'how to be,' while promoting at the same time a holistic view of human beings in individual social, cultural, and psychological contexts., To their credit, Steven Carter's books make honorable attempts to shore against our ruins a devotion to the powers of erudition, critical analysis, and judgment. In the words of Ezra Pound in Canto LXXXI, 'Here error is all in the not done,/all in the diffidence that faltered. . .' For Steven Carter, these are words to live by., Steven Carter has, I believe, made an important contribution to the study of metaphysics in our time. Such a voice ought to be heard., Fiction prevails over reality, image over object, machine over man. Such is the process of internalizing the Other that Steven Carter presents in his most disquieting, but nevertheless entertaining works.
Steven Carter, the only two-time winner of Italy's coveted Nuove Lettere International Poetry and Literature Prize, received his Ph.D. in English from the University of Arizona. He is Emeritus Professor of English at CSU, Bakersfield.
