While Halls devoted readers will recognize many of his long-standing preoccupations-baseball, the family farm, love, sex, and friendship-what will strike them as new is the fierce, pitiless poignancy he reveals as his own lifes end comes into view. The Back Chamber is far from being death-haunted, but rather is lively, irreverent, erotic, hilarious, ironic, and sly-full of the life-affirming energy that has made Donald Hall one of Americas most popular and enduring poets.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51939233792288,"sku":"NEW0547645856","price":28.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-back-chamber-0547645856","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
