A major collection of entirely new poems from the Pulitzer Prize and
National Book Award-winning author of Time and Materials and The
Apple Trees at Olema
A new volume of poetry from Robert Hass is always an event. In Summer
Snow, his first collection of poems since 2010, Hass further affirms
his position as one of our most highly regarded living poets. Hass's
trademark careful attention to the natural world, his subtle humor, and
the delicate but wide-ranging eye he casts on the human experience are
fully on display in his masterful collection. Touching on subjects
including the poignancy of loss, the serene and resonant beauty of
nature, and the mutability of desire, Hass exhibits his virtuosic
abilities, expansive intellect, and tremendous readability in one of his
most ambitious and formally brilliant collections to date.
