Hoppenthaler Featured At Verse Daily

John Hoppenthaler’s poem “My Second Spring” from his new book Night Wing over Metropolitan Area is featured at Verse Daily. Additionally, he was featured at Duquesne University, accompanied by Music School students.

Hoppenthaler’s fourth collection gives voice to a hard-earned weariness that acknowledges but resists resignation. 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.”
