Renowned New Hampshire poet Donald Hall was interviewed recently by Terry Gross on Fresh Air. It is an interesting interview where he talks about the aging process (he is 83) and how that has effected his writing. Mr. Hall has lived in the same New Hampshire farmhouse for years, and it belonged to his grandparents before him. In a recent New Yorker essay called "Out the Window" (Jan. 23, 2012, p. 40) he reflects on that view out the window of his farmhouse and how it has changed and not changed. His latest book The Back Chamber, has received wonderful reviews and is available at the library.

A very interesting essay, "Out the Window." Surprising & hardly something one would expect from a poet. Perhaps that's the point. Age is.
ReplyDeleteShouldn't the wording be "affected his writing" instead of "effected his writing" as my 9th grade English teacher drilled into my head?
