Nationally acclaimed poet, photographer, filmmaker, and novelist
James Baker Hall has long been regarded as one of Kentucky's most
profound artists. Hall's growing body of work is an essential part
of Kentucky's literary tradition, and yet his poetry in particular
transcends the borders of the Commonwealth.
The Total Light Process collects poems spanning Hall's
celebrated career as well as new poems that have never before been
published. The subjects of Hall's poems range from humorous and
revealing portraits of his fellow writers and friends Wendell
Berry, Ed McClanahan, and Gurney Norman, to the traumatic
experience of his mother's suicide when he was eight years old, to
the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the tragic murder of Matthew
Shepherd.
James Baker Hall, the former Kentucky Poet Laureate and a native
of Kentucky, has taught creative writing at the University of
Kentucky since 1973. He is the recipient of numerous awards,
including a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship in poetry
and a Wallace Stegner Fellowship in creative writing at Stanford.
Hall is the author of five volumes of poetry, two novels, and four
collections of photography. His works include Praeder's Letters;
Yates Paul, His Grand Flights, His Tootings; and Tobacco
Harvest.
