About this product

Product Information

"No practicing poet has more talent than Robert Hass." -Atlantic Monthly   The National Book Award-winning author of Time and Materials, Robert Hass is one of the most revered of all living poets. With The Apple Trees at Olema, the former Poet Laureate and winner of the 2008 Pulitzer Prize offers twentynew and selected poems grounded in the beauty of the physical world. As with all of the collections of this great artist's work, published far too infrequently, The Apple Trees at Olema is a cause for celebration.

[Hass s] achievement is often nothing less than splendid...Conscious of language and its limitations, the tug-of-war between mind and body, Hass s newest work still manages to wholeheartedly engage with the world around him...a generous gift for any reader., The new poems show Hass at the height of his narrative powers... He tries to get every word he can into each line, every detail he can into each poem, as though, if these feats are possible, then it s also possible to save some part of the world from dissolution., THE APPLE TREES AT OLEMA...masterly conveys the beauty and fragility of the physical world....earthy yet illuminating, complex yet clear-eyed....The result is poetry that seems to breathe, inhaling softly in some cases, exhaling sharply in others., "Hass's achievement is often nothing less than splendid. . . .

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
