As Louise Gl?k observes in her foreword, \"\u003ci\u003eGreen Squall\u003c\/i\u003e begins and ends in the garden\"; however, Hopler's gardens are not of the seasonal variety evoked by poets of the English lyric--his gardens flourish at lower, fiercer latitudes and in altogether different mindscapes. There is a darkness in Hopler's work as deep and brutal as any in American poetry. Though his verbal extravagance and formal invention bring to mind Wallace Stevens's tropical extrapolations, there lies beneath \u003ci\u003eGreen Squall\u003c\/i\u003e's lush tropical surfaces a terrifying world in which nightmare and celebration are indistinguishable, and hope is synonymous with despair.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jay Hopler, Louise Gl?k\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0300114540\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780300114546\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Yale University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.27lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.24h x 5.28w x 0.29d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/15\/2006 pg. 81","brand":"Jay Hopler","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43946402382079,"sku":"9780300114546","price":26.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_ea19c129-e449-4efe-b486-0a14d88166b6.jpg?v=1681512943","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/green-squall-jay-hopler-9780300114546","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
