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 \"For the Leapers\" the narrator relates, \"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.\" Hodgen'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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJohn Hodgen\u003c\/b\u003e is visiting assistant professor of English at Assumption College.
