Donald Hall and Jane Kenyon. Life together
Description
Recorded in 1993, this classic program profiled Donald Hall and his wife, Jane Kenyon-two celebrated American literary figures. Kenyon, who died in 1995, was an award-winning poet and translator; Hall is the author of more than a dozen books of poetry and in June of 2006 was named U.S. Poet Laureate. In the program, Bill Moyers visits Hall and Kenyon at their farmhouse in New Hampshire for a conversation about their careers, their poetry, and their life together. Their discussions are punctuated by the two poets' readings at the Geraldine R. Dodge Poetry Festival and before an audience of their neighbors.
