For my Poetry Angels 2023

A man of wide ranging intelligence, Hall doesn't let that intelligence get in the way of his poetry. What we have here is a heart full of soul, pages full of heart and soul, and an embracing of sentiment so that what comes through are poems filled with feeling not just thought, and the sense of a poet communicating with his readers rather than just showing off his technical acumen. There’s the personal and political in each and every one of these poems. Distilled from a panoply of memories Hall's new collection will both lift and break your heart. Neil Campbell – Novelist & Poet
