A Spring-Fed Pond is a stunningly intimate portrait of five celebrated Kentucky authors as seen through the camera of their close friend, James Baker Hall, University of Kentucky Professor of English and Kentucky’s Poet Laureate (2001-2003.)

Although renowned for his poetry and novels, James Baker Hall is also noted photographer with several collections of work. Through several decades of photographs, Hall unveils the very souls of these brilliant literary gems: Bobbie Ann Mason, Gurney Norman, Wendell Berry, Mary Ann Taylor-Hall, and Ed McClanahan. This magnificent tribute offers rare and unpublished photographs and striking insights into the cherished friendships of six internationally known literary artists. (2001)
