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\u003eIn prose as clear as pond ice and as warm as a Glenwood stove, this landmark collection reveals: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eFour Seasons on the Farm: \u003c\/b\u003e Not just spring, summer, fall, and winter, but the true New England calendar of maple sugar, blackfly, Red Sox, and the long, deep quiet of the cold.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eAn Ancestral Home: \u003c\/b\u003e The story of a place bought in 1865, where generations of a family lived, worked, and left their mark, from forgotten tools in the back chamber to the poet's own rekindled fire.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eA Poet's Prose: \u003c\/b\u003e Lyrical, comic, and elegiac essays that capture the small moments and deep truths of a life lived in observance of the land and its history.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eLife with Jane Kenyon: \u003c\/b\u003e A tender, unsentimental portrait of a shared life of work, love, and poetry on the farm Hall and his wife, the poet Jane Kenyon, called home.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 272\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.66 x 8.96 x 6.08 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 04, 2007\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52555954848037,"sku":"9780618839346","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0987\/2487\/2485\/files\/X5qtwhKN-c9780618839346.webp?v=1781362687","url":"https:\/\/c4lhome.com\/products\/eagle-pond-paperback","provider":" Companion for Life Five Home","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
