Donald Hall's "The Old Life" is a book about the inescapable effects of time and age and the powerful presence of memory in our lives. Without falling into the trap of over-sentimental emotions or opaue language, Hall crafts clear, brisk poems that keep you reading and profoundly satisfied. Beyond the seemingly simple images and construction of these poems are the conflicting feelings of grief, exultation, amusement andpain, which are the cost of exploring the past. -Eric |
