Fanatic Heart (Carnegie Mellon Classic Contemporary Fiction)

Poems that give voice to a life deeply felt and fully realized.

Deborah Pope's poems give voice to a life deeply felt and fully realized, whose very personal visions yield universal claims. At the heart of this poetry's fanaticism is the search for the ground of intimacy and the configurations of identity. It is a measure of Pope's skill that each recognition seems powerfully right, not sought but given.
