This series of poems explores the life of the semi-mythical Pope Joan, said to have stolen her brother's identity to study for the priesthood. In dealing with the story of a female pope, these poems explore the issues of a woman 'living in a man's world', within an institution that still does not allow the ordination of women, as well as the universal fascinations of spirituality and faith within the Catholic Church.
