She is the author of Lit, the long-awaited sequel to her critically-acclaimed and New York Times best-selling memoirs The Liars' Club and Cherry.

Karr welcomes conversation with her audience and she is known for her spirited, lively, and engaging Q&A sessions. Her poetry grants include The Whiting Writer's Award, an NEA, a Radcliffe Bunting Fellowship, and a Guggenheim. She has won prizes from Best American Poetry as well as Pushcart Prizes for both poetry and essays. Her four volumes of poetry are Sinners Welcome (HarperCollins, 2006), Viper Rum(Penguin, 1998), The Devil's Tour (New Directions, 1993), and Abacus(Carnegie Mellon, 1986).
