Sarah--Of Fragments and Lines

By Julie Carr

Book Overview

Set to the music of rain, these shattered elegies seek communion in the ethereal place between birth and death.

In the wake of a mother's battle with Alzheimer's and a child's impending birth, Julie Carr gathers the shards of both mourning and joy to give readers poems that encompass it all: "Zebra and xylophone cyclone and sorrow." Here she says, "Since I lost her I stored her like ore in my / form as if later I'd find her, restore her," giving voice to the longing that accompanies life's most profound losses and its most anticipated arrivals.
