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.
