內容簡介

“2016美國國家書卷獎National Book Award年度最佳詩集決選”

　　Jay Hopler's second collection, a mourning song for his father, is an elegy of uproar, a careening hymn to disaster and its aftermath. 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 Rainfallis a festival of glowing saints and fighting cocks, of firebombs and birdsong.
