Julie Carr
Julie Carr is an American poet who was awarded a 2011 National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship for Poetry. She graduated from Barnard College with a BA in 1988, from New York University with an MFA in 1997, and from University of California, Berkeley with a Ph.D. in 2006. She teaches at University of Colorado. Her work has appeared in "Volt, Verse, New American Writing, Parthenon West, Boston Review, Verse, Bombay Gin, Denver Quarterly, Colorado Review, American Letters and Commentary, and Public Space." She is co-publisher of Counterpath Press. Reviews. In her first book, "Mead: an Epithalamion  (2004), Julie Carr employed marriage as both a theme and as the starting point for her poetic inquiries into relation and interconnection. Her second book, Equivocal" (2007), goes a step farther in its scope, exploring specifically the roles and bonds of mother and child, and of child-becoming-mother, as well as opening into questions of family, history, and identity. In this investigation, Carr seeks to confront issues of an individual’s responsibility to others, whether they be a child, parent, spouse, or the world itself.
