"Carr is a master of simple but powerful images that trigger little shocks of recognition, lyric sensory waves beyond what a lengthy narrative might accomplish. They appear and vanish, lingering in memory, motifs repeating, and slightly altered. This creates deep pleasure for the reader, witness to a masterful musical art. "
Bob’s collection The Heavy of Human Clouds (3: A Taos Press, 2023) is a greenhouse paneled in stained glass. To this, the poet Sean Singer adds, “[its] translucent lines … stretch like foxes into nature.”
"Carr has a light touch with his heavy material. Never once does the reader feel that the book was written in the service of a message, and yet it traces the course of an epidemic and of attitudes towards and of those who bore the brunt of it." - Devon Balwit
