Paperback. Zustand: Good. Distinguished poet Donald Hall reflects on the meaning of work, solitude, and love "The best new book I have read this year, of extraordinary nobility and wisdom. It will remain with me always."-Louis Begley,The New York Times "A sustained meditation on work as the key to personal happiness. . . .Life Workreads most of all like a first-person psychological novel with a poet named Donald Hall as its protagonist. . . .

Hall has written so much about that house in New Hampshire where he lives that I'm beginning to think of it less as a place than a state of mind. I find it odd that a creative mind can work with such Spartan organization (he describes waiting for the alarm to go off at 4:45 AM, so eager is he to get to his desk) at such a mysterious activity (making a poem work) without getting in the way of itself."-John Freeman's blog (National Book Critics Circle Board President).…
