About the author: Julie Carr is a Professor at the University of Colorado in Boulder in the Department of English where she teaches courses in poetry and poetics from the eighteenth century to the present, and the chair of the Women and Gender studies department. A former dancer, she now collaborates regularly with dance-artist K.J. Holmes, and has created collaborative works with many other artists, dancers, and filmmakers. With Tim Roberts she helps run Counterpath, an independent literary press and a bookstore/gallery/performance space/community garden in Denver. Julie Carr's new book, The Garden, was published by Essay Press (US) and Pamenar Press (UK) in the fall of 2025.

About the book: The Garden, book one of the trilogy Overflow, dedicates itself to two seminal figures in Carr’s life: the painter Tony Robbin, who paints four-dimensional space, and the theoretical physicist, feminist, and philosopher, Karen River Barad.

Through a spirited series of fractured and interwoven narratives, The Garden reorients themes of time, war, Jewishness, memory, techno-biology, friendship, and grief. The garden, as a foundational site of fallness, separation, and loss, is also where we discover desire, becoming, and poiesis. This work of essay-auto-fiction embraces the porous vulnerability of beings appearing in the overflow, the violence and rapture of the ongoing “now.” A city is invaded as a lost child is found, a swastika reanimates itself across the internet, a bullet grazes a girl in parking lot, a Moroccan Jewish grandmother witnesses Operation Torch from a Casablanca rooftop, a boy raised in Yokohama in the aftermath of the atomic blasts grows up to father a baby with a hole in his heart: these moments that resound backwards and at the same time shoot forwards, this “oftening, over-and-overing, and aftering,” is what we call history.

About the author: Nathan (she/they) is a Black transfemme writer. She is an assistant professor at the University of Colorado Boulder whose research explores Black transfemininity, speculative fictions and temporality. Their debut chapbook, small colossus, was published in 2021, and their fiction was shortlisted for the 2022 Santa Fe Writers Project Literary Award. She was a 2023 Lambda Literary Fellow in poetry.

About the book: "Across multiple worlds in upheaval, a curious cast of Black queer characters must choose between what they already know themselves to be and what they might yet become in the cataclysm. At once tender and audacious, Nathan Alexander Moore’s debut collection tells the stories of extraordinary creatures making impossible but human decisions. Traversing apocalypses both big and small, these captivating tales vibrate with the tensions between loss and growth; self and community; precarity and possibility."

To be released April 4, 2024
