Equivocal

Powells.com Staff Pick

Julie Carr's poetry is never gimmicky or flamboyant, nor is it pedantic or generically philosophical. While her poems engage the topics of nature and domesticity, she does not come to neatly profound conclusions about nature scenes or mundane acts of domesticity. She writes of childhood, womanhood, and motherhood sincerely, but never nostalgically. Her lyrical style expresses the complex and often frustrating experience of being human: of constantly thinking, feeling, being, and changing but always, somehow, retaining the same consciousness in the same body. Equivocal is a softly devastating book.

Publisher Comments:

"Open and read Julie Carr's finely wrought Equivocal.Such intimate, ambitious, impeccable, evocative writing!"-Carol Snow

Julie Carr's second collection explores the elements of chance and mystery that determine human identity and relationships. In delving into the human fascination with the self's story and the boundaries between the self and others (including family), these poems pose often unanswerable questions, but the reader delights in the wit and artistry used to explore them.

From "House/Boat":

. . . The night soon lost its head. I said,
I'm here. Pulling up now,

parking, as it were,
looking for something to eat, to redeem.

The wind shook the seedpod but the seedpod
wasn't moved.

And though I thought I'd done the damage I was born for,

there was still so much to step through,
so much to mar.
