About the poet: Donald Hall
Donald Hall (1928–2018) was born in New Haven, Connecticut, and became one of the most celebrated American poets of his generation. He edited the influential anthology New Poets of England and America (1957) and published extensively across six decades. He and his wife, poet Jane Kenyon, settled on Eagle Pond Farm in New Hampshire, which became the landscape of much of his late work. After Kenyon's death from leukemia in 1995, he wrote Without (Houghton Mifflin, 1998), a collection of elegy. He served as United States Poet Laureate from 2006 to 2007. Among his other major collections are The One Day (1988), which won the National Book Critics Circle Award, and White Apples and the Taste of Stone (2006).
