Wild Liar - Paperback
by Deborah Pope (Author)
A sharp and poignant poetic exploration of memory, aging, and the relationships that define our lives.
The poems of Wild Liar emerge from a fundamental engagement with the nature of memory--its shifting constructions and needs, its equilibriums and disquiets. Refracted through language rich with Deborah Pope's distinctive lyricism and acute eye for detail, the poems plumb the experience of the passing of parents, the departure of children, the weathers of a long marriage, and an acknowledgment of mortality. Whether writing with sly humor or emotional directness, her voice compels attention--it is clear-eyed and assessing, poignant and wise.Deborah Pope has published four books of poetry--Fanatic Heart, Mortal World, Falling Out of the Sky, and Take Nothing. Her collection, Fanatic Heart, was re-issued in the Classic Contemporary Series from Carnegie Mellon University Press. Her work has appeared in such journals as Poetry, Threepenny Review, Michigan Quarterly Review, The Southern Review, EPOCH, Birmingham Poetry Review, and Poetry Northwest. She has also been awarded the Robinson Jeffers Prize.
