Summer Snow

New Poems

By: Robert Hass

Narrated by: Robert Hass

A major collection of entirely new poems from the Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award-winning author of Time and Materials and The Apple Trees at Olema

A new volume of poetry from Robert Hass is always an event. In Summer Snow, his first collection of poems since 2010, Hass further affirms his position as one of our most highly regarded living poets. Hass’s trademark careful attention to the natural world, his subtle humor, and the delicate but wide-ranging eye he casts on the human experience are fully on display in his masterful collection. Touching on subjects including the poignancy of loss, the serene and resonant beauty of nature, and the mutability of desire, Hass exhibits his virtuosic abilities, expansive intellect, and tremendous readability in one of his most ambitious and formally brilliant collections to date.

Beautiful aching poems

Poems with so much human feeling, illuminating light, and lilted longing, tilting toward a lyricism one can only bathe in!

Nice collection

Nice poems read beautifully (almost conversationally) by the author. My only complaint is that the transcriptions of the poem titles are often in error (e.g. allergy when it should be elegy).
