Back in print, Carrâs powerful poems seek out and face violence and its counterforces.

Julie Carr obsessively researches instances of intimate terrorism, looking everywhere from Walt Whitman and Emily Dickinson to lists of phobias and weapon-store catalogs. She searches for what can be learned from the statistics, the statements by and about rapists and killers, the websites of hate groups, and the capacity for cruelty that lies within all of us. 100 Notes on Violence is a diary, a document, and a dream log of the violence that grips America and devastates so many. But Carr also offers a layered and lyric tribute to violenceâs counterforces: love, commonality, and care. Her unflinching ânotesâ provoke our minds and burrow into our emotions, leading us to confront our fears and our own complicity.

Industry Reviews

"A sprawling experimental poem in 100 parts, Carr's third collection variously examines the ways violence permeates our daily lives. Part personal reflection, part research project, Carr echoes writers and thinkers from Dickinson and Whitman to Bataille and Sontag." * Publishers Weekly *
"When Carr's poems sit in their own terrified piss, it isn't for comfort, as Corman's child does, but because they want to articulate the world through experience of violence. They want to, and-childlike-they can't. Their stuttering and their silences say the unsayable" * Gently Read Literature *
"So what about words? Carr has built a 'cupboard' of them. They seem least able to overcome or escape their subject when they are most moored to common usage and what we call 'sense.' They are best able to make a way to an un-obliterating hour or world, when they've been marred, or played prestissimo, or translated back into barbarous sound." * Jacket2 *
