\u0026lt;b\u0026gt;Winner of the 2005 Donald Hall Prize in Poetry. \u0026lt;/b\u0026gt;\u0026lt;i\u0026gt;Grace\u0026lt;/i\u0026gt; is John Hodgen\u0026#39;s third book of poetry. He is a poet of extreme contrasts, offering us the dregs of despair, yet instantly recalling hope in the beauty of nature or in a moment in time when all is right, when we realize grace. In \u0026quot;For the Leapers\u0026quot; the narrator relates, \u0026quot;We will fall past the angels, / we will fall from such height, / our tears will lift up from our eyes. / We will fall straight through hell. / And then we will rise.\u0026quot; Hodgen\u0026#39;s poems roam through history, religion, man-made disasters, baseball, pop culture, and Wal-Marts, on paths that come full circle with remarkable completeness, maturity, and dexterity. |
