As Grammy Award-winning songwriter Rosanne Cash puts it, \"Hoppenthaler's attention to the specifics of nature--hummingbirds, Japanese maples, snowfall--are like embroidery, stitched through and holding together the sharp memories and images of loss, longing, regret, and hope.\" These subtle yet powerful poems assay aging, spirituality, contemporary political concerns, death, the struggles of a mentally ill child, and related marital pressures.
