Description
Book SynopsisA collection of poetry that investigates the mind of an iconic American painter. It conveys both frightening and amusing messages as 'Hopper' commentates on his own paintings - from the iconic Nighthawks to his depiction of his wife and himself taking a final bow in Two Comedians' - as well as those of other artists.
Trade Review[These poems] seem ideal companions to the best biographies and analyses of the great artist." —
Booklist"James Hoggard’s account of his long fascination with Hopper is so finely tuned that it’s as if Hopper, ever the skeptic, resonates in response, and channels himself through Hoggard’s poems to recreate the psychic matrices of his own creations." —William Pitt Root, Tucson's first poet laureate
"With spare, sure strokes, in a passionate and graceful series of poems written in Hopper's imagined voice, James Hoggard takes the risk of rendering the painter startlingly more human.
Triangles of Light deepens our experience of Hopper's haunting work and the visionary spirit that created it." —Naomi Shihab Nye, Pushcart Prize-winning poet
