Bøger af Deborah Pope

This book is the personal testimony of Stu Schlackman's experience as he discovered the reality of the Jewish Messiah when he moved from New Hampshire to Birmingham, Alabama. Stu grew up in a conservative Jewish home, went to Hebrew School, became Bar Mitzvahed and then discovered the truth about the Jewish Messiah- Jesus, when he worked for his close friend. His story is his journey and discovery of the truth and how he justifies what he has come to believe.

"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"--

As in her first collection, the widely praised Fanatic Heart, Deborah Pope in this collection continues a journey through a world of deep and fierce attachments. 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.

The poems in Fanatic Heart, Deboarah Pope's remarkably accomplished first collection of verse, are distinguished by their sensuous language, assured voice, and surpassing intelligence. Hers are poems of pain and loss, but they are also, and more tellingly, poems of wonder, of love and passion.

Focuses on four representative poets - Louise Bogan, Maxine Kumin, Denise Levertov, and Adrienne Rich - to explore the ways in which women writers' treatment of isolation extends our perception of women's experience and our understanding of the alienated human sensibility.
