Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Robert Hass demonstrates once again the unmistakable intelligence and original voice that have won him both literary acclaim and the affection of a broad general readership. Here Hass extends and deepens his ongoing explorations of nature and human history, solitude, and the bonds of children, parents, and lovers. Here his passion for apprehending experience with language--for creating experience with language--finds supple form in poems that embrace all that is alive and full of joy. Sun Under Wood is the most impressive collection yet from one of our most accomplished poets.

Review:

"No practicing poet has more talent than Robert Hass."(-- The Atlantic Monthly)

Review:

"Sun Under Wood is Hass at his best. It is a book to reread, always with the lucky sense of walking through a meadow with a friend, deep in the best kind of exchange."(-- Los Angeles Times)

Sun Under Wood is a tantalizing collection of poems. Hass is blindingly brilliant in the way he twists and weaves family, history, and nature effortlessly and seamlessly. Hass delves into human nature and plucks out the oniony heart within, analyzing it from every angle and doing it with style.
