As Louise Gluck observes in her foreword, \"\u003cem\u003eGreen Squall\u003c\/em\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 \u003cem\u003eGreen Squall's\u003c\/em\u003e lush tropical surfaces a terrifying world in which nightmare and celebration are indistinguishable, and hope is synonymous with despair.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJay Hopler\u003c\/b\u003e (1970-2022) earned degrees from New York University, Johns Hopkins University Writing Seminars, the Iowa Writers' Workshop, and Purdue University.
