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 memoryâ"its shifting constructions and needs, its equilibriums and disquiets. Refracted through language rich with Deborah Popeâs 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 attentionâ"it is clear-eyed and assessing, poignant and wise.

Industry Reviews

Praise for Take Nothing
"From the closing of an old Howard Johnson's to the Perseid meteor shower to an eighth-century monk, Deborah Pope's range is as remarkable as her poems. This collection embraces the complexity of her relationships and connections to a multitude of things: nature, faith, family, objects, love, and more. Her language is at once direct and evocative, perfectly striking the difficult balance between simple, plain honesty and the verve and passion that comes from the voice of a life that is fully aware of its truth and contradiction, clarity and doubt, mortal bounds and limitless imagination." -- Richard Blanco, Presidential Inaugural Poet, author of How to Love a Country
