Some people's lives are more poetic than a poem,and Francis is certainly one of these. I know, because he walked beside me for that short timewhether you believe it or not. —from "Outremer"Fanny Howe's poetry is known for its lyricism, fragmentation, experimentation, religious engagement, and commitment to social justice.
