Social Life
Tony Hoagland
1999
Introduction
Tony Hoagland's poetry focuses primarily on contemporary issues in middle and upper class America, especially in middle class suburbia. His personal experience in this environment sometimes shows up in poems as straightforward autobiography and other times manifests itself in a generic you

address, suggesting a shared experience within an entire generation. From politics and adultery to religion and sex, Hoagland's themes often resound of daytime talk shows and evening news, but the poems are also lined with an undercurrent of self-reflection and disillusionment, anger and hope. Social Life,

Typically content to deal with the material, plastic world of things and the people who use them, Hoagland searches for something different in Social Life,
something found only in the serenity, beauty, and wonder of the natural world.
