Title: Without
First published: 1998
Description: The dying of a beloved wife and fellow poet makes for a bleak and lonely tale.

But Donald Hall's poignant and courageous poetry, facing that dread fact, involves us all: the magnificent, humorous, and gifted woman, Jane Kenyon, who suffered and died; the doctors and nurses who tried but failed to save her; the neighbors, friends, and relatives who grieved for her; the husband who sat by her while she lived and afterward sat in their house alone with his pain, self-pity, and fury; and those of us who until now had nothing to do with it.
Subjects: Death, Poetry, Grief, Marriage, Elegiac poetry, American, American Elegiac poetry, Poetry (poetic works by one author), Death, poetry
People: Donald Hall (1928-), Jane Kenyon
