Description

A Carnival of Losses: Notes Nearing Ninety by Donald Hall

ā€œHall lived long enough to leave behind two final books, memento mori titled ā€˜Essays After Eighty’ (2014) and now ā€˜A Carnival of Losses: Notes Nearing Ninety.’ They’re up there with the best things he did.ā€ —Dwight Garner, New York Times

From the former poet laureate of the United States, essays from the vantage point of very old age

Donald Hall lived a remarkable life of letters, one capped most recently by the New York Times bestseller Essays After Eighty, a ā€œtreasureā€ of a book in which he ā€œbalance[s] frankness about losses with humor and gratitudeā€ (Washington Post). Before his passing in 2018, nearing ninety, Hall delivered this new collection of self-knowing, fierce, and funny essays on aging, the pleasures of solitude, and the sometimes astonishing freedoms arising from both. He intersperses memories of exuberant days—as in Paris, 1951, with a French girl memorably inclined to say, ā€œI couldn’t care lessā€ā€”with writing, visceral and hilarious, on what he has called the ā€œunknown, unanticipated galaxyā€ of extreme old age.

ā€œWhy should a nonagenarian hold anything back?ā€ Hall answers his own question by revealing several vivid instances of ā€œthe worst thing I ever did,” and through equally uncensored tales of literary friendships spanning decades, with James Wright, Richard Wilbur, Seamus Heaney, and other luminaries.

Cementing his place alongside Roger Angell and Joan Didion as a generous and profound chronicler of loss, Hall returns to the death of his beloved wife, Jane Kenyon, in an essay as original and searing as anything he’s written in his extraordinary literary lifetime.
