Berkeley Writers at Work: Robert Hass

Abstract: Robert Hass, professor of English at Berkeley and former Poet Laureate
of the United States, reads from his work, is interviewed about his
writing process, and answers questions from the audience.

Hass was appointed Poet Laureate in 1995. During his tenure, he
turned a largely ceremonial post into one that actively addressed
literature and literacy. He wrote a column for the Washington Post,
introduced up-and-coming poets to the public, and advocated literacy
and reading throughout the country.

The "Berkeley Writers at Work" series, sponsored by the College
Writing Programs, provides a forum for campus writers to discuss all
aspects of their process. Past guests have included Alan Dundes,
Orville Schell, and Ronald Takaki.
