Preserving Eagle Pond Farm

Where Donald Hall and Jane Kenyon Shared a Writing Life

Here, in New Hampshire, Donald Hall and Jane Kenyon were daily informed by the farm, its memories, and a deep sense of place and connection to place. It was here they found their poetry and here, still, is what they often wrote about.

At Eagle Pond, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization established to preserve the farm and what Don and Jane brought to it, as well as to open the house to visitors, offer public programs and events that honor and examine Don’s and Jane’s work, while inviting reflection, too, on place and poetry in our lives, and providing residencies where writers can take up their own work at Eagle Pond Farm.
