Black Bullets in the Sweet Jar (Paperback)

Paperback. Durham writer Alison Carr looks back to the childhood she lost when she was knocked down by a hit-and-run driver when she was eight years-old. Written with a beautiful melancholy, the poems are constructed around iterative images of lost childhood pleasures, of falling apples and seasonal change, connecting personal feelings of loss with larger narratives of the Fall mythical, anthropological and economic. A book of poems in which the writer looks back on the years of her childhood before she was almost killed by a hit-and-run driver.
