In A Nest in the Heart, Vivienne Popperl conjures the lives of her ancestors to better understand their stories and their influence on her life. The poems will take the reader on a journey through Johannesburg, Europe, and the Willamette Valley of Oregon, as the poet faces the age-old question: "Where do I belong?" Influenced by the poetry of Elizabeth Woody, she explores how the body's physical landscape intersects and resides within the natural, geographical world.

Thankfully, throughout A Nest in the Heart, they still do."-Claudia F. Saleeby Savage, author of Bruising Continents "In her stunning first collection, A Nest in the Heart, poet Vivienne Popperl explores the vicissitudes of family with rare lyricism....This fine collection sends shivers up my spine-what beautiful words and what generous sentiments."-Dale Champlin, author of The Barbie Diaries and Callie Comes of Age
