Reviews
People with advanced aggressive cancers automatically become authorities on mortality. Poets with such cancers have been dealt, at great cost, four aces. And for the wild ones, like Jay Hopler, cancer can be a field day. The bleak friskiness here is not new, nor is the swaggering rancor (like Berryman, who was also proud to be right in his dire predictions). What is new is gratitude: for the "atomic girl" it is his extraordinary good fortune to meet and ultimately marry; for the opportunity of art, which lends to his passions' duration. There is a difference, marked in these poems, between rage at the fact of mortality and rage at the diagnosis of its imminence. And the latter infuses Hopler's extravagant jokes and glittering improvisations with the urgency and weight of last words. --Louise Glück, winner of the 2020 Nobel Prize in Literature, "People with advanced aggressive cancers automatically become authorities on mortality.

No one writes like Hopler. And no one ever will." -- Katie Ford
Synopsis
Confronted with a terminal cancer diagnosis, Jay Hopler -- author of the National Book Award-finalist The Abridged History of Rainfall -- got to work. The result of that labour is Still Life , a collection of poems that are heartbreaking, terrifying, and deeply, darkly hilarious. In an attempt to find meaning in a life ending right before his eyes, Hopler squares off against monsters real and imagined, personal and historical, and tries not to flinch. This work is no elegy; it's a testament to courage, love, compassion, and the fierceness of the human heart. It's a violently funny but playfully serious fulfilment of what Arseny Tarkovsky called the fundamental purpose of art: a way to prepare for death, be it far in the future or very near at hand., Confronted with a terminal cancer diagnosis, Jay Hopler --author of the National Book Award-finalist The Abridged History of Rainfall --got to work.
