CU professor and author

Julie Carr traces her family tree to illuminate a dark American story in Mud, Blood, and Ghosts: Populism, Eugenics and Spiritualism in the American West. A poet by training, Carr uses rhythm, repetition and metaphor to weave history and autobiography into a rhapsodic snapshot of American populism as it emerges in the wake of the Gilded Age.
