{"product_id":"b0cw1d87dp","title":"Eagle Pond: An Essay Collection from the Acclaimed U.S. Poet Laureate","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis original paperback brings together for the first time all of Donald Hall’s writing on Eagle Pond Farm, his ancestral home in New Hampshire, where he visited his grandparents as a young boy and then lived with his wife, the poet Jane Kenyon, until her death. It includes the entire, previously published Seasons at Eagle Pond and Here at Eagle Pond; the poem “Daylilies on the Hill” from The Painted Bed; and several uncollected pieces. In these tender essays, Hall tells of the joys and quiddities of life on the farm, the pleasures and discomforts of a world in which the year has four seasons -- maple sugar, blackfly, Red Sox, and winter. Lyrical, comic, and elegaic, they sing of a landscape and culture that are disappearing under the assault of change.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn prose as clear as pond ice and as warm as a Glenwood stove, this landmark collection reveals:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFour Seasons on the Farm:  Not just spring, summer, fall, and winter, but the true New England calendar of maple sugar, blackfly, Red Sox, and the long, deep quiet of the cold.

A Poet’s Prose:  Lyrical, comic, and elegiac essays that capture the small moments and deep truths of a life lived in observance of the land and its history.
