News tips

I felt a violent wonder at her presence like a thirst for salt, for my childhood river with its island willows, silly music from the pleasure boat, muddy places where we caught the little orange-silver fish called pumpkinseed.

-Robert Hass, "Meditations at Lagunitas"

Robert Hass, this year's Pulitzer Prize winner in poetry, reads Friday night at Arts & Letters Live.

Robert Hass is among my favorite poets. If you have not read his work, you might begin with Field Guide publlished in 1983 as part of the Yale Series of Younger Poets (especially the poem "In Weather")or any one of his more recent books. Hass is a past Poet Laureate of the U.S.
