“If any American writer deserves the description of ‘man of letters,’” the New York Times Book Review wrote, “it is Donald Hall.” He was not only one of America’s poet laureates but one of the great personal essayists. Mr. Hall approached writing as he approached life―with simplicity, affection, and a wry wit. He distilled the human experience with a sense of humor that readers will return to again and again, each time learning something new. His work glows with the affection he held for the land, the people, and the customs of rural New England, and especially for the small, New Hampshire dairy farm near Ragged Mountain he visited every summer as a child.

Mary Azarian grew up on a small farm in Virginia, where she had horses, rabbits and chickens. After graduating from Smith College, where she studied printmaking with Leonard Baskin, she moved to a farm in northern Vermont. There she taught for four years in one of the last one-room schoolhouses in the state. She has been a full-time printmaker since 1969. Her books include A Farmer’s Alphabet and the Caldecott Medal-winning Snowflake Bentley.
