In lyric poems by turns droll and desolate, Hopler documents the struggle to live in the face of great loss, a task that sends him ranging through Florida's torrid subtropics, the mountains of the American West, the streets of Rome, and the Umbrian countryside. Vivid, dynamic, unrestrained: The Abridged History of Rainfall is a festival of glowing saints and fighting cocks, of firebombs and birdsong.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJay Hopler\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of \u003ci\u003eGreen Squall\u003c\/i\u003e and the editor (with Kimberly Johnson) of \u003ci\u003eBefore the Door of God: An Anthology of Devotional Poetry\u003c\/i\u003e.
