About the Book

Winner of the 2012 FutureCycle Poetry Book Prize. DEAD WENDY is a sequence of elegiac poems, reflections on broken relationships and unlikely friendships, lyrics-sung, shouted, wept-of life's raw drama and ultimate tragedy. At heart, it is a love story. The narrative a tapestry of memories brought forth in three distinct voices as each character recounts events, the poems chronicle the last days of a young woman and the two men who loved her-and pursued her beyond death.
About the Author: Richard Carr's poetry and reviews have appeared in Poetry East, Exquisite Corpse, New Letters, Painted Bride Quarterly and many other journals. His chapbooks are Butterfly and Nothingness (a hypertext published by Mudlark) and Letters from North Prospect (winner of the Frank Cat Press Poetry Chapbook Award). His full-length poetry collections are Mister Martini (University of North Texas Press), Street Portraits (Backwaters Press), Honey (Gival Press), Ace (Word Works Books), One Sleeve (Evening Street Press) and Imperfect Prayers (Steel Toe Books). His honors include the Washington Prize for Ace, the Gival Press Poetry Award for Honey, and the Vassar Miller Prize for Mister Martini. Besides "serious" employment as a systems analyst, web designer, tavern manager, and college teacher, Richard has held an assortment of jobs in restaurants, big box and small town hardware stores, book and newspaper print shops, and on farms, as well as house painting, cabinet making, ice rink grooming, and, one summer, filling sunken graves in a cemetery. As a teenager, he wanted to be a concert pianist. His cat's name is "Fur" Elise, and his goldfish are called Aria and Goldberg. In college, he majored in philosophy. At one time, he could recite a hundred digits of pi. He once hitchhiked to California. His car is a Jaguar XJ8. He's been in three motorcycle crashes. None fatal.
