Neal Hall is a medical-surgical eye physician and graduate of Cornell and Harvard Universities. An internationally acclaimed poet, he has composed poetry and performed readings throughout the U. S. and internationally. Hall’s poetry speaks beyond the surface pain of injustice and inhumanity deep into that pain labeled and packaged into genteel socio-political-economic-religious constructs to hide the subjugator and subjugation and blur the common lines of cause, that is our shared story.

During his residency, Hall continued developing his mixed media project Abolist, and a theatrical stage script that uses his words and wordplay intersected with Shakespeare’s to compose hybrid poetic narratives.
