The Selected Poems of Donald Hall
- HOUGHTON MIFFLIN HARCOURT
Former poet laureateÂ Donald Hall selects the essential work from a moving and brilliant life in poetry.

Long-Listed for the 2016 National Book Award

Donald Hall is an American master, one of the nationâ€™s most beloved and accomplished poets.Â Now in his eighties, having taken stock of the body of his workâ€”rigorous, gorgeous verse that is the result of seventy years of â€œambition and pleasureâ€â€”he strips it down.Â

The Selected Poems of Donald Hall reflects the poetâ€™s handpicked, concise selection, showcasing work rich with humor and eros and â€œa kind of simplicity that succeeds in engaging the reader in the first few linesâ€ (Billy Collins).

From the enduring â€œMy Son My Executionerâ€ to â€œNames of Horsesâ€ to â€œWithout,â€ Donald Hallâ€™s best poems deliver â€œa banquet in the mouthâ€ (Charles Simic) and an â€œaching eleganceâ€ (Baltimore Sun).Â For the first-time reader or an old friend, these are, above all others, the poems to read, reread, and remember.
Â
â€œHowever wrenching [Hallâ€™s poems] may be from line to line, they tell a story that is essentially reassuring: art and love are compatible, genius is companionable, and people stand by one another in the endâ€ (New York Times Book Review).Â
