A collection of poems originally written from 1963 through 1975, with the early creations containing classical influences and moving toward lyrical, intimate and narrative poems with a terseness of language.
Pope states: "I am deliberately writing 'poetry of intimacy' in a conscious effort to evolve a feminine diction and vocabulary.".
