Kelleher A-27. Hall is considered "one of the major American poets of his generation. His poetry explores the longing for a more bucolic past and reflects the poet's abiding reverence for nature. Although Hall gained early success with his first collection, Exiles and Marriages (1955), his more recent poetry is generally regarded as the best of his career. (Poetry Foundation) Of this collection, Hall said, "The One Day is my favorite work of my own, unless Without [1998], and I certainly couldn't tell about Without. I can never tell about Without. I would suspect that The One Day is more of an aesthetic whole."
