Near Klamath

The census claim is confirmed: Near Klamath is US-only, published by the English Club of Sacramento State College, Sacramento, California, 1968, and there is no UK, foreign, or original-language precedence question — no other edition exists. It is Carver's first separately published book and anchors any Carver census; the later poetry pamphlets (Winter Insomnia, 1970) do not precede it. One reference source states Carver was teaching at Sacramento State at the time of publication; his documented association with the college was as a student (BA 1963), so that claim is not repeated here.
