Hoppenthaler Published in Plume

John Hoppenthaler’s poem “Nocturne,” from his forthcoming Night Wing over Metropolitan Area, has just been published in Plume, which is a magazine dedicated to publishing the very best of contemporary poetry. 

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.”
