During his tenure as US Poet Laureate, Robert Hass revived the
popular nineteenth-century tradition of including poetry in our
daily newspapers. "Poet's Choice" ultimately became a nationally
syndicated column appearing in dozens of papers across the country.
Every week, Hass would marry poets and poetry to headlines and
holidays. Proceeding in sequence from early 1997 to the start of
the millennium, we ride the rhythms of Hass's remarkable musings.
From the living legends to the long-gone, Hass resurrects voices of
many who might otherwise remain neglected. Nearly a hundred poets
are profiled--William Butler Yeats, Wallace Stevens, Rita Dove,
Robert Frost, Sonia Sanchez, Donald Justice, Margaret Atwood, John
Ashbery, Adrienne Rich, Michael Ondaatje, and Louis Gluck all make
appearances here. And along with classic works, we're introduced to
a host of emerging poets and to translations of such luminaries as
Yehuda Amichai, Czeslaw Milosz, and Jaime Sabines. In his
introduction, Hass observes how the columns collected here seem to
encapsulate a time and world quite different from the one that
developed after 9/11. And so this collection serves as both
remembrance and reminder of a period in our history, and as a
celebration of the poets whose poems transcend time.
