Good Heart: Poems

Good Heart is Deborah Keenan’s honest and courageous personal historical narrative. This collection of poems explores what a “good heart” must do to survive difficult life decisions, letting go of old friends, and losing family members — a journey that leads, if we’re lucky, to wisdom. The recipient of two Bush Foundation Fellowships, an NEA Fellowship, and a Loft-McKnight Poet of Distinction Award, Keenan’s poems imbue ordinary life experiences with an unconditional affection that evokes understanding and compassion.
