　　Distinguished poet Donald Hall reflects on the meaning of

work, solitude, and love

“The best new book I have read this year, of extraordinary

nobility and wisdom. It will remain with me always.” —Louis Begley,

The New York Times

“A sustained meditation on work as the key to personal happiness.

. . . Life Work reads most of all like a first-person psychological

novel with a poet named Donald Hall as its protagonist. . . .

Hall’s particular talents ultimately [are] for the memoir, a genre

in which he has few living equals. In his hands the memoir is only

partially an autobiographical genre. He pours both his full

critical intelligence and poetic sensibility into the form.” —Dana

Gioia, Los Angeles Times

“Hall . . . here offers a meditative look at his life as a writer

in a spare and beautifully crafted memoir. Devoted to his art, Hall

can barely wait for the sun to rise each morning so that he can

begin the task of shaping words.” —Publishers Weekly (starred

review)

“I [am] delighted and moved by Donald Hall’s Life Work, his

autobiographical tribute to sheer work—as distinguished from

labor—as the most satisfying and ennobling of activities, whether

one is writing, canning vegetables or playing a dung fork on a New

Hampshire farm.” —Paul Fussell, The Boston Globe

Donald Hall is the author of numerous prizewinning volumes of

poetry, including The One Day, winner of the National Book Critics

Circle Award, essays, children’s books, and criticism. His new

collection of short stories, The Willow Temple, will be published

by Houghton Mifflin this spring.

　　"Donald Hall’s Life Work has been strangely gripping, what with

his daily to do lists, his ruminations on the sublimating power of

work. Hall has written so much about that house in New Hampshire

where he lives that I’m beginning to think of it less as a place

than a state of mind. I find it odd that a creative mind can work

with such Spartan organization (he describes waiting for the alarm

to go off at 4:45 AM, so eager is he to get to his desk) at such a

mysterious activity (making a poem work) without getting in the way

of itself."—John Freeman’s blog (National Book Critics Circle Board

President)
