Speaking to students at the 1994 Festival Careful attention to the world is evident in all of ROBERT HASS’s work as a poet, translator, educator, and lifelong advocate of environmental causes.

MILLENNIUM EVENING GUEST LECTURER ROBERT HASS ROBERT HASS is a professor of English at the University of California, Berkeley and served as Poet Laureate Consultant in Poetry at the Library of Congress from 1995 to 1997. During his tenure as Poet Laureate, Professor Hass battled illiteracy by putting into action his belief that, " Imagination makes communities." Of his passion for promoting iteracy, he explains that, "when I got the (Laureate) job I did a lot of reading about literacy...One of the things that struck me was just how powerful a presence poetry has been in our culture when we were, as a people, teaching ourselves to read. At the beginning of the 19th century, less than 60% of American males could write their name, and that was far higher than in most of Europe. If you were black, you could get killed for reading. But we made literacy a civic religion from the idea that you couldn’t have a democracy without it, and we taught a whole people to read. It’s one of the great achievements of the American democratic experiment and one of the indicators of the hunger for literacy, was a taste for poetry." As Poet Laureate, he also sponsored a weeklong celebration of American nature writing called "Watershed." His commitment to environmental issues led him to found the River of Words poetry contest which is run through the International Rivers Network.

This Old Poem #41: The Poets Laureate Special Edition #4: Robert Hass’s Happiness Robert Hass was born in San Francisco in 1941. His books of poetry include Sun Under Wood: New Poems (Ecco Press, 1996); Human Wishes Praise (1979), and Field Guide (1973), which was selected by Stanley Kunitz for the Yale Younger Poets Series. He has also co-translated several volumes of poetry with Czeslaw Milosz, most recently Facing the River (1995), and is author or editor of several other collections of essays and translation, including The Essential Haiku: Versions of Basho, Buson, and Issa (1994), and Twentieth Century Pleasures: Prose on Poetry (1984). He served as Poet Laureate of the United States from 1995 to 1997 and is currently a Chancellor of The Academy of American Poets. He lives in California and teaches at the University of California, Berkeley. RH is also 1 of those Western Intellectuals infatuated with the notion ‘West is bad, East is good.’ He has supplemented his own growing corpus of poetastry with an equally soporific translation portfolio. Don’t you just love a dullard who insists on draining your patience bilingually? Let’s check out the titular poem: Happiness Because yesterday morning from the steamy window we saw a pair of red foxes across the creek eating the last windfall apples in the rain— they looked up at us with their green eyes long enough to symbolize the wakefulness of living things and then went back to eating— and because this morning when she went into the gazebo with her black pen and yellow pad

69. Poet Laureate Robert Hass To Read Works At Centre Poet Laureate robert hass to read works at Centre No practicing poet hasmore talent than robert hass, proclaims The Atlantic Monthly. http://www.centre.edu/web/news/roberthass.html

Poet Laureate Robert Hass to read works at Centre RELEASED: April 19, 2001 DANVILLE, KY-Robert Hass, poet laureate of the United States from 1995 through 1997, will give a poetry reading on April 23 at 8 p.m. in Weisiger Theatre on the Centre College Campus. The free public reading will be followed by a book signing. The only duty required of the nation's poet laureate is to present one reading and one lecture per year at the Library of Congress. As poet laureate, Hass broadened that role and became a champion for literacy and environmental issues. He crisscrossed the United States speaking at Rotary Club meetings and other organizations to raise money to hold conferences such as Watershed , a gathering of writers and environmentalists who teach inner-city kids about the nation's long tradition of nature writing. As a result of Hass's commitment to such ideals, he was selected as "Educator of the Year" by the North American Association on Environmental Education in 1997. "No practicing poet has more talent than Robert Hass," proclaims The Atlantic Monthly . Hass explores nature, solitude and the bonds of children, parents and lovers in his poetry. Believing that natural beauty must be tended to and that caring for a place means knowing it intimately, Hass feels that poets especially need to pay constant attention to the interaction of mind and environment.

Ursprung und Entwicklung der afro-amerikanischen Dichtung, der kalifornischen Tradition mit Robinson Jefferson und Kenneth Rexroth finden sich ebenso wie die Werke der Beat Generation und des experimentellen Schreibens nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg wieder.

Die Vorlesungen klingen mit einem Blick auf die postmoderne Ästhetik und deren Implikationen in Fragen der Umwelt aus.

80. BerlinOnline: Ein Beatnik In Berlin / Der Amerikanische Dichter Robert Hass Unte Translate this page Eigentlich gehört robert hass an die kalifornische Westküste. Ein Beatnikin Berlin. Der amerikanische Dichter robert hass unterrichtet an der FU. http://www.berlinonline.de/wissen/berliner-zeitung/.bin/dump.fcgi/2002/0506/feui

Berliner Branchen Stadtplan Tickets Club ... :: Berliner Kurier Datum: Ressort: Feuilleton Autor: Ralf Hertel Ein Beatnik in Berlin Der amerikanische Dichter Robert Hass unterrichtet an der FU Eigentlich gehört Robert Hass an die kalifornische Westküste. Man sieht ihn, die Hosen hochgekrempelt, mit nackten Füßen im warmen Sand stehen. Den Blick weit aufs Meer gerichtet, sucht er den Horizont, da wo der Westen aufhört und Asien anfängt. Leise sagt er japanische Haiku-Gedichte vor sich her und übt sich in der Kunst der Zen-Meditation. Eigentlich. Stattdessen sitzt der amerikanische Dichter und poeta laureatus auf einem Stuhl aus Chromstahl im Wissenschaftszentrum am Berliner Gendarmenmarkt und erläutert seine Vorstellung von Dichtung und davon, wie man sie unterrichten könne. Der 61-jährige Kalifornier ist der siebte Schriftsteller, der im Rahmen der Samuel-Fischer-Gastprofessur an der Freien Universität Berlin Literatur unterrichten wird. Für das Sommersemester vertauscht er den kalifornischen Sandstrand mit dem Berliner Kunstfaserteppich. Dieses bewusst naive Staunen ist allerdings bezeichnend: Hass will sich nicht festlegen lassen, auf literarische Gesinnungen genauso wenig wie auf einen festen Lehrplan. Er meidet jede Festlegung innerhalb akademischer Diskurse. An die Stelle literarischer Programme setzt er die freie Assoziation - legitim für einen Lyriker. Die Studenten mag eine derart unsystematische Herangehensweise zunächst verwirren. Die Hoffnungen Gert Mattenklotts vom gastgebenden Institut für Literaturwissenschaft, der mit den Professuren der verbreiteten Auffassung vom Verschwinden des Autors entgegentreten will, könnte sich jedoch genau aus diesem Grund erfüllen. Subjektiv, assoziativ und kontrovers in seinen Ansichten, könnte gerade Hass beweisen, dass die Stimme des Dichters nicht zu ersetzen ist - und sei es nur, um Widerspruch zu provozieren.
