“Hass is a philosophically attentive observer, deep thinker, and writer who dazzles and rousts.” —Booklist
Robert Hass is, first of all, a poet of great eloquence, clarity, and force, whose work is rooted in the landscapes of his native Northern California. Widely read and much honored, he has brought the kind of energy in his poetry to his work as an essayist, translator, and activist on behalf of poetry, literacy, and the environment. Awarded the MacArthur “Genius” Fellowship, twice the National Book Critics’ Circle Award (in 1984 and 1997), the Yale Series of Younger Poets in 1973, and the 2014 Wallace Stevens Award. Robert Hass is a professor of English at UC Berkeley.
Join us for a poetry reading and book signing by the distinguished Robert Hass in celebration of National Poetry Month as presented by the Texas Tech University Presidential Lecture & Performance Series, whose mission it is to enhance the cultural landscape of the South Plains, for both students and community members alike.
