{"product_id":"9780547527109_eagle-pond","title":"Eagle Pond","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis original paperback brings together for the first time all of Donald Hall’s writing on Eagle Pond Farm, his ancestral home in New Hampshire, where he visited his grandparents as a young boy and then lived with his wife, the poet Jane Kenyon, until her death. It includes the entire, previously published Seasons at Eagle Pond and Here at Eagle Pond; the poem “Daylilies on the Hill” from The Painted Bed; and several uncollected pieces. In these tender essays, Hall tells of the joys and quiddities of life on the farm, the pleasures and discomforts of a world in which the year has four seasons -- maple sugar, blackfly, Red Sox, and winter. Lyrical, comic, and elegaic, they sing of a landscape and culture that are disappearing under the assault of change.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis beloved collection captures the heart of that vanishing world:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eThe Four Seasons of a Farm:\u003c\/b\u003e Experience a year where the seasons are not spring or fall, but maple sugar, blackfly, Red Sox, and the long, deep quiet of a New Hampshire winter.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eAn Ancestral Home:\u003c\/b\u003e Step into the New England farmhouse where Hall’s grandparents lived and where he and his wife, the poet Jane Kenyon, made their life together.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003ePoetic Prose:\u003c\/b\u003e A collection of lyrical, comic, and elegaic essays from one of America’s most cherished poets, observing a world disappearing under the assault of change.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eA Disappearing Way of Life:\u003c\/b\u003e Witness the joys and hardships of country life, from haying in summer to the solitary comfort of a winter woodstove, chronicled with love and unsentimental clarity.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Donald Hall","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46941877502101,"sku":"9780547527109","price":26.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0484\/3175\/9509\/files\/9780547527109.jpg?v=1776889797","url":"https:\/\/harpercollins.com.au\/products\/9780547527109_eagle-pond","provider":"HarperCollins AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
