As in her first collection, the widely praised
Fanatic Heart,
Deborah Pope in this new collection continues a journey through a world of deep and fierce attachments. With impressive range, Pope writes of intimate moments with lover and children, of her strong attachment to the natural environment, to meditations on the human face of political upheaval. Sensuous, longing, grieving by turns, the poems of
Mortal World
are love poems in the widest and yet most intimate sense. They do not hold the world at a distance; rather, they taste, see, touch, and savor the things of the world, human connections chief among these.
These are poems about beginnings and endings, written from the emotional center of experience. In their evocative, widening arc of emotion they trace a path from passionate awakening to ambiguous estrangement to the complicated griefs that can wait at the heart of even the deepest love. Still, they finally reach toward reconciliation, toward a reclaiming of the “province of joy.”
Deborah Pope’s first book, as many critics noted, announced a poet of great promise. That promise is more than realized in the wise and beautiful poems of
Mortal World.
