• 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.
