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