Jane Kenyon, poet, died in April of 1995 at age 47. She had lived in New Hampshire with her husband Donald Hall for 20 years. A new collection of her work titled "Otherwise" has been published, and this evening at Harvard University there's a gathering in tribute to her work. Noah talks with two of her friends and writing coclleagues, Joyce Peseroff and Alice Mattison, who explain that Kenyon's poetry is perfect for people who don't read many poems, but is also highly respected by her fellow poets.
