Quotes
-
“Daniel Hall’s work reminds us that a poet’s sharp-sightedness, the whole business of ‘getting things right,’ is a matter of far more than accuracy. It’s a matter of—inescapably—thanksgiving.”
Source: Brad Leithauser, The New York Review of Books (1996) -
“Under Sleep pairs an impulse to elegy with a love of perceptual activity.”
Source: Chicago Tribune (review) (2007)
