Void of Course
Jim Carroll
In 1973, at the age of twenty-three, Jim Carroll burst upon the poetry scene with his first collection, Living at the Movies, a book of vivid and inventive verse that won him comparisons to everyone from Arthur Rimbaud to Frank O'Hara. Carroll’s first new book of poetry in more than a decade, Void of Course presents work composed over the last two years. His major themes–love, friendship, desire, time and memory, and, above all, the ever-present city–emerge in an atmosphere where dream and reality mingle on equal terms. These seventy-seven poems range from graphic, sensuous shorter pieces to edgy stream-of-consciousness prose poems to longer, more contemplative works such as While She’s Gone, an eerie tour de force of longing over a departed lover. Void of Course establishes that Carroll’s power and purity of vision are stronger than ever.
