Which "Cathedral" do you mean — a poem, a short story, or something else? There are a few well‑known works titled "Cathedral." If you meant Raymond Carver’s Cathedral (most commonly known), that is a short story, not a poem:
- Cathedral (short story) was first published in 1981 in Esquire and became the title story of Raymond Carver’s collection Cathedral (1983).
- Raymond Carver (1938–1988) was an American writer known for spare, minimalist short fiction and poems. Born in Clatskanie, Oregon, he worked blue‑collar jobs early in life, struggled with alcoholism, and later recovered. Major collections include Will You Please Be Quiet, Please? (1976), What We Talk About When We Talk About Love (1981), Cathedral (1983), and Where I’m Calling From (1988). His work is associated with the “minimalist”/“dirty realism” movements; his later work was influenced by his partner Tess Gallagher and subject to heavy early editing by Gordon Lish (a point of literary controversy).
If you actually meant a poem titled “Cathedral” by a different poet, tell me the poet’s name (or I can list poems called “Cathedral” by various poets) and I’ll give the year and a short bio of the writer.
