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.
