Extractions: Robert Hass Happiness Because yesterday morning from the steamy window we saw a pair of red foxes across the creek they looked up at us with their green eyes long enough to symbolize the wakefulness of living things and because this morning when she went into the gazebo with her black pen and yellow pad to coax an inquisitive soul from what she thinks of as the reluctance of matter, I drove into town to drink tea in the café like the luminous and indefinite aspect of intention, and a small flock of tundra swans for the second winter in a row was feeding on new grass in the soaked fields; they symbolize mystery, I suppose, they are also called whistling swans, are very white, and because the tea steamed in front of me, and the notebook, turned to a new page, was blank except for the faint idea of order, I wrote: happiness! It is December, very cold, we woke early this morning, and lay in bed kissing, our eyes squinched up like bats. More on Robert Hass

http://www.diacenter.org/prg/poetry/95_96/intrhass.html

Extractions: Introduction by Brighde Mullins "A man choosing the words he lives by" is James Merrill's description of a poet and it is a fitting description of Robert Hass, whose words are active and suggest not only a way of composing but also a way of experiencing reality. His three books of poems open zones of contemplation and revelation. The grand scale of his native Northern California is made visible through his precise and highly musical sensibility, as he capitulates to the rhythm of pure relationships, of description, of naming, of saying. Walking, I recite the hard explosive names of birds: egret, killdeer, bittern, tern. Dull in the wind and early morning light the striped shadows of the cattails twitch like nerves. This act of recitation is an act of submission to the world, to its intrinsic wonders, terrible and beautiful, naming, as Yeats says as a mother names her child it is that tender agility that yields such pleasure in Hass' first book, FIELD GUIDE. "If you're going to write you better have somewhere to come from," Flannery O'Connor has said, and Hass does homage to his home in passages like this: In California in the early Spring There are pale yellow mornings, when the mist burns slowly into day The air stings like Autumn clarifies like pain Well, I have dreamed this coast myself.

Partly to deflect my attention from the public spectacle we've all been dragged through, partly because Wright despised the self-righteousness and prurience in American public life. He wrote of Eisenhower's visit to Franco in 1959: The American hero must triumph over

Peter Davison reviews robert hass's Sun Under Wood Atlantic Monthly
http://www.TheAtlantic.com/issues/97mar/davison/davison.htm

Extractions: W HETHER or not they achieve permanent fame, certain poets speak for the sensibility of their era. We can even play the game of compiling a list of those poets who have best summed up their times. Mine would include, in England, George Herbert, whose purity and wit gathered in the religious intensity of the English Reformation; Alexander Pope, whose fabric came from the warp and woof of Newtonian England; William Wordsworth, who exalted the sweep of the Romantic movement; A. C. Swinburne, who exulted in the . The visionary William Blake bypassed all eras and every whisper of dialect to speak directly to the receptive yet critical human soul: in his strangeness he stands above time and place, like Shakespeare or Dante. On this side of the Atlantic, Ralph Waldo Emerson opened up the possibility of a New World birth of the spirit; Walt Whitman celebrated its joy and its triumph; Emily Dickinson annotated its secret self-appraisal. In our present century T. S. Eliot and W. H. Auden spoke for "the age of anxiety"; yet with the passage of time it seems to be cunning old Robert Frost who most irresistibly enlists our attention and who, despite later shifts in fashion and form, keeps answering the fire bell.

Extractions: About Robert Hass by Douglas Haynes R obert Hass is a native Californian whose poetry is well-known for its West Coast subjects and attitude. Born in San Francisco on March 1, 1941, Hass grew up in the Marin County suburb of San Rafael, where he attended a private Catholic school. His family included two figures who obviously affected his poetry: his older brother, who encouraged Robert to dedicate himself to writing; and his mother, whose alcoholism is a major subject in Hass's most recent book of poems Sun Under Wood As a teenager, Hass was impressed by the burgeoning San Francisco Bay Area poetry scene of the 1950s. "I started out imagining myself as a novelist or essayist, but then Gary Snyder and Allen Ginsberg came along; and poetry, imbued with the whole lifestyle of the Beats, was much more exciting," he states in a 1996 Publishers Weekly interview with Michael Coffey. Sparked by the Beats, Hass's interest in poetry blossomed under the influence of East Asian literary traditions like Haiku and the locally-prominent work of San Francisco poet Kenneth Rexroth. In his essay "Some Notes on The San Francisco Bay Area As A Culture Region: A Memoir," Hass recognizes Rexroth as "the first one to teach me that there could be an active connection between poetry and my own world." Hass's intimate life-long connection with the lush Bay Area landscape has contributed greatly to the sensual geography of his poetry. As he grew older, radical politics also began shaping his poetics.
