Wild Liar
Publisher: Carnegie Mellon University PressISBN: 978-0-88748-689-0Genre: Poetry Price: $15.95The poems of Pope’s new, wide-ranging collection, Wild Liar, emerge from a deep engagement with the weathers of relationship and the nature of memory in writing remarkable for its lyricism and precision. As Richard Blanco has noted, her work embodies “a voice that is fully aware of its truth and contradiction, clarity and doubt, mortal bounds and limitless imagination.”
