  Whitworth University Press Release - Donald Hall Simpson Duvall
Whitworth is honored to present the 2006 Simpson Duvall Lectureship featuring revered poet Donald Hall, who will share the insights of a long, creative life -- a life lived vigorously, and one devoted to expressing, through Hall's mastery of the written word, the human truths that most of us find ineffable.
Hall, who was born in New Haven, Conn., in 1928, began writing as a youngster and attended the Bread Loaf Writers' Conference at the age of 16 -- the year his first work was published.
Instead, Hall conveys the enormity of his grief and loss through the simplest of observations: 'Daybreak until nightfall,/he sat by his wife at the hospital/while chemotherapy dripped/through the catheter into her heart.' In this way, Without becomes more than a tour of extreme grief; it is also an encounter with unexpected beauty."

Hall picked up the idea again in the fall of 2002, deciding this time to include the story of their marriage along with the one about her death.
Hall said he's often heard the remark that his poetry was good all along, but it wasn't until he left teaching and came to the farm that he took off.
Hall was out of town and learned of the disease in two stages: He heard his wife's symptoms over the phone and then received the final diagnosis from a doctor at New London Hospital upon his return.

In the final poem of this section, "Gallery," Hall writes: "Back home from the grave,/behind my desk I made/a gallery of Janes." The book's second section is a series of epistolary poems written to Kenyon after her death.
Hall and I began our conversation, I mentioned her name to him and her praise of him as a teacher.

Hall was born in New Haven, Connecticut, in 1928.
Hall is often on the road doing readings, and his travels recently have involved flights to Pakistan, India, Ireland, the Czech Republic, and other ports far from New Hampshire.
Hall is the relentless monotheist who loves Freud because Freud’s thinking and writing are as nasty as life itself is, and Bly is a whirling dervish of polytheistic and polyglot pandemonium, a one-man American Fourth of July parade of many gods and many voices.

 Secrets of the Spirit: Charles Lindbergh, Donald Hall, and the Plane That Made History
Hall's plan for the wings on the so-called "New York to Paris" (NYP) aircraft would be similar to those on the M-2, but as he wrote "it was necessary to increase the wing span by 10 feet".
Over the decades, a mythology has certainly developed that the NYP plane Donald Hall built was little more than a "flying gas tank." In some sense of the statement this is true of course, but it belittles the sophisticated nature of the enterprise and the approach taken to meet it.
Donald Hall and B.F. Mahoney were invited to attend the festivities welcoming Lindbergh back to New York in June, and were there when Lindy received the Orteig Prize for which he'd worked so long and hard, and for which he'd risked so much.

 Dana Gioia Online - Donald Hall
Hall discusses his life and work while constantly comparing his own activities and attitudes with those of his parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents.
Hall's verse grew better with each volume, culminating in The One Day (1988), a book-length poem published on his sixtieth birthday, which ranks as one of the few unquestionable masterpieces in contemporary American poetry.
More convincing is Hall's practical advice on how he manages to publish a yearly average of four books ("counting revised editions of old books," he adds modestly) plus numerous poems, essays, articles and book reviews, not to mention the five thousand letters.

 Donald Hall in conversation with Ian Hamilton
Hall comes across as a professional poet who has made the most of the institutional opportunities available in post-war America to build a career as writer and teacher.
Poetry, for Hall, is a craft which can be laboured at in the expectation of success proportionate to investment of effort.
He is as practical and dispassionate in his attitude to subject matter as to poetic form: both are to be extended in the interests of furthering the reach of his poetry, and if private experience is to be drawn on, it does not deserve any more excitable treatment than other topics.

 A Poet's Lonely Deathwatch / Donald Hall's elegy for his wife, Jane Kenyon
Donald Hall's ``Without'' is as riveting a poetic narrative as has come along in some time.
Hall's melancholy deathwatch contains gripping dramatic interest as well as excellent poetry, with its unusually intimate focus on the painful process of losing a loved one to a prolonged wasting illness and then trying, somehow, to get over it.
Enumerating flatly the grim clinical particulars of technology's death drill -- the chemo, the radiation, the bone marrow transplant -- Hall's poetic recounting attempts a kind of exorcism, struggling to hold off and overcome a dehumanizing adver sary that attacks silently, invasively.

At 63, Hall is mightily productive in poetry, memoir, essay, letter, story, and review, and he sets out to devote part of each working day (for Hall, there are seven of these a week) to writing this book, its title bespeaking its theme.
Hall writes of his ancestors, of the rocky farms of New England, a small dairy, his father's early death, his wife's gardening, and then quite suddenly as his colon cancer recurs, of the possible end to life and the very prosaic tasks of cancelling readings, putting papers in order for survivors.
One has a very real sense of who Donald Hall is - his views of life, his passion for baseball and his family, his trials with his own ill health, his love for his wife, Jane Kenyon, also a poet, and his agonizing grief when she dies quite unexpectedly.

 Life at Eagle Pond: The Poetry of Jane Kenyon and Donald Hall
Donald Hall was born in 1928 in Hamden, Connecticut, attended Phillips Exeter and Harvard University, and taught for many years at the University of Michigan.
The ties with Hall's family past and the sense of belonging to a community that accompanied the move had a deepening effect upon their lives and work.
For Hall, who spent his childhood summers and wrote his first poetry there, it was both a coming home and a "coming home to the place of language." Kenyon found in the rural New England landscape a subject that allowed her to express her own inner world.
