Set to the music of rain, these shattered elegies seek communion in the ethereal place between birth and death.

In the wake of a mother's battle with Alzheimer's and a child's impending birth, Julie Carr gathers the shards of both mourning and joy to give readers poems that encompass it all: Zebra and xylophone cyclone and sorrow. Here she says, Since I lost her I stored her like ore in my / form as if later I'd find her, restore her, giving voice to the longing that accompanies life's most profound losses and its most anticipated arrivals.
