Amazon.com description: Product Description: The first full-length volume of poems in a decade by the former poet laureate of the United States
In The Back Chamber, Donald Hall illuminates the evocative, iconic objects of deep memoryâa cowbell, a white stone perfectly round, a three-legged milking stoolâthat serve to foreground the rich meditations on time and mortality that run through his remarkable new collection. While Hallâs devoted readers will recognize many of his long-standing preoccupationsâbaseball, the family farm, love, sex, and friendshipâwhat will strike them as new is the fierce, pitiless poignancy he reveals as his own lifeâs end comes into view. The Back Chamber is far from being death-haunted, but rather is lively, irreverent, erotic, hilarious, ironic, and slyâfull of the life-affirming energy that has made Donald Hall one of Americaâs most popular and enduring poets.
