- Synopsis
- "It is a remarkably beautiful and generous book, beautiful in all its terrible specifics of the daily ordeal of death, and generous to the memory of the force of life his wife possessed. These poems by Donald Hall are written to and for his wife, Jane Kenyon, who died in 1995. The first half sketches her illness and death; the second half addresses her in the ensuing year. Unlike Thomas Hardy's elegies to his wife, Emma, "they celebrate a marriage of deep intimacy and great happiness" (John Bayley). Hall speaks to us all of grief- as a husband and as a poet lamenting the death of a poet. Without is his greatest achievement.
