Audio Reviews: "This audio is a delight...as he reads to us, we
can hear the nostalgia, fondness and pain in his voice, which provide the audio
with a sensitivity a book never could."
-Boston Sunday Globe "Cetainly the combination of prose and poetry
is a winner in this recording."
-AudioFile "With content this fine, even those familiar
with Hall's work gain new respect listening to these perfectly organized tapes."
-Library Journal SYNOPSIS: Author of more than 30 books
of poetry and prose, Donald Hall performs dozens of his best-loved poems, together
with excerpts from six of his works of prose. He has been writing poems for over
50 years and now stands as one of America's foremost poets. Winner of the National
Book Critics Circle Award, the Robert Frost Medal of the Poetry Society of America,
the New England Book Award and former Poet Laureate of New Hampshire, among other
honors, Donald Hall gives us this tour de force - a gift of words - that intimately
converges poet, author and listener. Excerpts from: String Too Short
to be Saved, Seasons at Eagle Pond, Fathers Playing Catch With Sons,
Here at Eagle Pond, Life Work, Principal Products of Portugal.
