Sarah--of fragments and lines : poems

As a piece derived from a unified whole, a fragment suggests a tiny shard of a story that must stand on its own and, in doing so, devise a new context for itself. In her newest book, Carr deals with several threads of the personal: pregnancy, birth, death, and grieving. For Carr, Sarah--—the mother lost to Alzheimer's as Carr herself is expecting a baby--—is the tension that exists between the remains of a remembered future and a past that hasn't happened yet.
