Childhood memory, family intimacy, and blurred boundaries
Blue Memento is a short poetry collection shaped by a young boy’s memories of his grandmother. Its material centers on family attachment alongside unsettling perceptions of gender, sexuality, and favoritism, with recollection presented as partial, sensory, and unstable. The poems return to childhood impressions rather than offering a straightforward family portrait, holding affection and discomfort in the same remembered space. At 56 pages, the book frames the grandmother-grandchild bond as a charged site where admiration, confusion, and inherited attitudes toward men and women intersect.

What happens when a young boy senses the erotic energy of his grandmother; her adoration of everything male and dismissal of everything female? In Blue Memento, Robert Carr turns to impressions and blurred boundaries from childhood. In a world where every memory is bed-wet yellow, these poems recreate a provocative past with the grandmother he loves.
