	NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Robert Hass

	Robert Hass Introduction (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		The cover of Hass' most recent book of poems, a Bonnard painting, is an apt linkage to the Impressionists, not only because of the velocity of his encounter with the world of appearances, but in his painterly use of light.
		He is, to my mind, a plein air poet, he "dreams in front of nature" rendering the fluid fixed, he renders the caprices of light, desire and nature into perfect cadences and our world re-crystallizes around the strength of his vision.
		Hass, as Cleopatra entreated Antony, to "Ram thou thy fruitful tidings in mine ears, that long time have been barren." We are lucky to have him among us, because he reminds us that language is more extraordinary than anything.

		Hass, 1973 winner of the Yale Series of Younger Poets Award, here shows that he has continued to mature as a poet willing and confident enough to allow his richness of vision and command of language room to expand beyond the limits of the shorter line.
		I must begin by saying that Robert Hass' body of work is without many rivals in the world of contemporary American poetry, thus to call this book his "most accomplished" -which I wholeheartedly believe- is not to say that the rest of his poetry volumes are not wonderful and, in some cases, stunning.
		Robert Hass has been an inspiration to me as a fellow poet, and as a human being earnestly attempting to live an authentic life.

		Hass does not, in Late Spring, set these things in the larger context of distant, if simultaneous and horrific, world events—as Rexroth does in Autumn.
		And, like Jeffers, he is alone; he chides himself: "should be" thinking of "pretty women and the constellations." But he cannot, the wide world is too much with him, and the right-wing forces are winning the battles that haunt him in Spain and China.
		In the poem Hass engages the world of politics Rexroth turns to at the moment he imagines the clocks and whistles sounding in Barcelona and Nanking.

		Hass situates the poet’s work in the intellectual ferment of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries and argues that as materialism collapsed under the weight of new scientific discovery, Frost began to see science as a historically conditioned mode of perception.
		Hass is exactly right when he suggests that in the poetry of Frost, a human being is capable of surmounting ‘our cosmic loneliness,’ reclaiming nature by projecting on it the ‘saving structures’ that give it meaning.
