About This Book

Still Life has been named a best book of the year by NPR and Time magazine. Longlisted for the 2022 National Book Award. 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 labor 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 fulfillment 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.
