Breakfast Served Any Time All Day: Essays on Poetry New and Selected

by Donald Hall

Breakfast Served Any Time All Day: Essays on Poetry New and Selected Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Breakfast Served Any Time All Day collects forty years of writings on poetry in one essential volume by master of American letters Donald Hall.

Praise for Breakfast Served:

". . . the essays in this book are engaging, passionate, strange, and unified. Hall has been around a long time, and you can trace the concerns of a generation through the mind of this one man: questions about the diminished scope of poetry, the diminished ambitions of poets, how a poem 'means,' etc. . . . . Criticism . . . is an exercise in sanity, of which these essays are a splendid and useful example."

-Poetry

"A luminous and essential volume about the sensuality of language, its pleasures and sounds."

-Ploughshares

"It is in this merger of a poet's biography and a poem's body that Hall does his best work. . . . [Breakfast Served Any Time All Day] has an undeniably infectious quality to it. Finishing it, you cannot help but want to return to your bookshelf, and read-again or for the first time-the great forgotten poems of our past."

-Nathan Greenwood Thompson, Rain Taxi
