Description
Julie Carr's debut poem collection explores the complexities of marriage and intimacy. Through a diverse range of poetic forms, she examines the intricate balance between desire for narrative and rupture, fragment and resolution. Carr delves into the intertextual relationships between reader, writer, and text, as well as the bond of motherhood, which encompasses affective, legal, and sensual elements. Her work reveals the precarious equilibrium between our need for structure and the fragmentation that can occur. With prose poems, stanzaic forms, concrete poems, and discursive modes, Carr breaks from traditional expectations while still embracing the power of poetry to convey the human experience.
