A Carnival of Losses. Notes nearing ninety. Donald Hall.
A Carnival of Losses. Notes nearing ninety. Donald Hall. 2018. Hall is considered a notable US poet, author, editor and critic. The book is exactly as noted,. He goes through his life and comments on various way points in it as well as poets/poetry he has known. The prose is clear, lucid plus he states it now takes him a long time to write anything at 89. A very good introduction to decades of poets ( US mostly) plus he has written notable stories. His self deprecating approach is quite appealing as are his stories about his younger late wife. I confess poetry has never taken with me and despite this interesting book, I feel I am a lost cause.
