Seeking Hazel Hall
Research-based exhibits, recordings, + performancePortland, Oregon2017—2020
When people first learn about Portland, Oregon, poet Hazel Hall they often experience noticeable sparks of wonder and want to read her poetry and know more about her life. Her story invites questions and conjures compelling images: a short life mostly lived in a wheelchair while supporting her family with sewing. Award-winning poems about what she saw from her window. Internationally admired in her lifetime; hidden and almost forgotten in ours. An internationally respected poet, Hall lived in Portland in the early 1900s, writing poems inspired by the view from her second floor window. Born in 1886, she died in 1927, at age 38. For most of her short life she was confined to the family home as her mother and sister were unable to maneuver her wheelchair down the stairs to the ground floor. The Oregon Book Award for poetry is jointly named for Hall and fellow Oregon poet William Stafford, and yet she has faded from modern memory.
