Jay Hopler

A collection of poems by Jay Hopler, winner of the 2005 Yale Series of Younger Poets competition.

Green Squall

Jay Hopler s second collection, a mourning song for his father, is an elegy of uproar, a careening hymn to disaster and its aftermath. In lyric poems by turns droll and desolate, Hopler documents the struggle to live in the face of great loss, a task that sends him ranging through Florida s torrid subtropics, the mountains of the American West, the streets of Rome, and the Umbrian countryside. Vivid, dynamic, unrestrained: "The Abridged History of Rainfall" is a festival of glowing saints and fighting cocks, of firebombs and birdsong."

An Anthology of Murder for Hire

The Killing Spirit

Kimberly Johnson

This title traces the development of devotional English-language poetry from its origins in ancient hymnody to its current 21st-century incarnations. The poems in this volume demonstrate not only that devotional poetry - poetry that speaks to the divine - remains in vigorous practice, but also that the tradition reaches back to the very origins of poetry in English.
