"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.

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

Deborah Pope’s poems give voice to a life deeply felt and fully realised, 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.

Fanatic Heart is a reflection of this pursuit, capturing the essence of a life intensely experienced and profoundly understood.
