About the poet: Jane Kenyon
Jane Kenyon (1947–1995) was born in Ann Arbor, Michigan, and received her BA and MA from the University of Michigan. She married the poet Donald Hall and settled on Eagle Pond Farm in New Hampshire, which became the landscape of her lyric poetry. Her poems are marked by clarity, restraint, and a deep attentiveness to the textures of rural New England life, grief, and depression. Her collections include From Room to Room (1978), The Boat of Quiet Hours (1986), Let Evening Come (1990), and the posthumous Otherwise: New and Selected Poems (Graywolf, 1996). She served as New Hampshire's Poet Laureate from 1995 until her death from leukemia. She has been praised as one of the finest lyric poets of her generation.
