A Chat with Chris Hall

The poetry of place

Meet Chris Hall, a special person with whom I have shared many magical moments over the years. I’m excited that he has agreed to join us and talk about his origins, writing, and experiences, which will inspire and fascinate you.

This is an intricately woven tapestry of storytelling, so grab something warm and curl up by the fire. Adventures await.

You can listen to Chris’ lecture on The Great Bengal Famine and the Boston Tea Party for the Boston Public Library. As it is not yet published on the site, comment here so he can send it to you.

Here is where Chris works (and lives!) - feel free to stop by for a tour!

And don’t forget- all of us have a right and ability to access public archives!

The Symbol of the National Park Service

And here are some of Chris’ Poems:

Poem
1.
I'd never seen you wear black before
You're alive. You know that.

Of course you know, its no surprise.
It's just that dealing with death 
and the long run makes it worthwhile.
I'd tell you but you know

you live it more sincerely than I can write.

2. 
Today you wore white
I was right I was right
Fire Alarm At the Bach Concert

As patrons try to pour out of the hall
Singers harmonize with a piercing tone
The running lights turn on and off as if everyone is blinking in unison 
Two ushers work up a sweat trying to heave the weight of the exit doors
Behind them, the crowd waits patiently as if in line for the salad bar

Above the organ, smoke eases its way through the balcony.
