"No practicing poet has more talent than Robert Hass." -- Atlantic Monthly The National Book Award-winning author of Time and Materials , Robert Hass is one of the most revered of all living poets. With The Apple Trees at Olema, the former Poet Laureate and winner of the 2008 Pulitzer Prize offers twenty new and selected poems grounded in the beauty of the physical world. As with all of the collections of this great artist's work, published far too infrequently, The Apple Trees at Olema is a cause for celebration.
