How special it is for you to celebrate Donald Hall's birthday. I wish I lived near enough to Hamden to attend some of the events. Our Mothers were friends at Bates College and corresponded for years. I have been in touch with Donald by letter and he has been able to answer. Among other things I told him that I had read " Ox cart Man" to my grandchildren ( Ages 5 and 8 ) very recently and they were pleased with the way that it really didn't end!!
Blogmaster's note: Thanks to Ms. Spitzer's recent generous donation, the Hamden Public Library has been able to purchase several of Mr. Hall's out-of-print books that were not previously in our collection. Thank you, Lois.
On September 16, 2011, the Hamden Public Library and the Town of Hamden honored native son and nationally renowned poet, Donald Hall. At that time many area residents came forward with thoughts and memories of Mr. Hall and his life in Hamden which we have begun to collect here on this blog. Feel free to comment on what you find here or, if you have additional items you would like to add, please contact the library.
