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.
