Biography
Donald Hall (1928-2018) wrote with clarity and heart, shaping American poetry for more than half a century while tending the landscapes of New England that inspired much of his work.
He served as U.S. Poet Laureate, edited journals, and mentored younger writers with the same thoughtful attention he brought to his own celebrated poems, essays, and memoirs.
