From the PoFo website:
“The Poetry Foundation will host U.S. Poet Laureate Donald Hall and British Poet Laureate Andrew Motion in a series of poetry readings in Chicago, Washington, D.C., and London. The transatlantic presentations mark the first time two sitting laureates have shared a stage and will take place on May 7, May 10, and June 6, respectively.” For more info, click here:
My favorite piece of Donald Hall writing is this gorgeous essay about everyday life, love and art, about life on a family farm with his wife, poet Jane Kenyon.
