A life well-lived in rural New England, through the eyes of a master
essayist and poet. This collection includes Donald Hall's Seasons at
Eagle Pond, Here at Eagle Pond, the poem "Daylilies on the Hill," and
many uncollected pieces.
Here is Donald Hall on letter writing, possessions, the past, wood
stoves, the weather, the Boston Red Sox, satellite dishes, and much more
from Eagle Pond Farm - his ancestral home in New Hampshire, where he
visited his grandparents as a young boy. Throughout, Hall beautifully
narrates the flow of one season into then next, taking the good with the
bad and moving on, knowing that the cycle always begins again.
Approaching all facets of life with a sense of simplicity and love,
Hall's distills the human experience so uniquely that readers will
return to these essays again and again, each time learning something
new.
