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.\n\nIn prose as clear as pond ice and as warm as a Glenwood stove, this landmark collection reveals:\n\nFour 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. An Ancestral Home: The story of a place bought in 1865, where generations of a family lived, worked, and left their mark, from forgotten tools in the back chamber to the poet’s own rekindled fire. 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. Life with Jane Kenyon: A tender, unsentimental portrait of a shared life of work, love, and poetry on the farm Hall and his wife, the poet Jane Kenyon, called home.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0618839348\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0618839348.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Hall, Donald\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
