DESCRIPTION:Renowned for his magisterial verse, Robert Hass is also a brilliant 
 essayist. The New York Times applauded him as a writer who "is so 
 intelligent that to read his poetry or prose, or to hear him speak, gives 
 one an almost visceral pleasure."\n\nThese acute and deeply engaging essays 
 ...range from meditation on how we see and treat the earth to the 
 relationship between literature and religion, from explorations of the 
 works of writers as diverse as Korean poet Ko Un, Wallace Stevens, Cormac 
 McCarthy, and Anton Chekhov to the ways in which photography - much like an 
 essay - embodies a sustained act of attention. The essays in What Light Can 
 Do, finely attuned to the pleasures and pains of being human, are always 
 grounded in the beauty of the material world and its details, and in the 
 larger political and social realities we inhabit. \n\nFormer U.S. Poet 
 Laureate (1995-1997) Robert Hass has received The National Book Critics 
 Circle Award (1996), the National Book Award (2008), and the Pulitzer Prize 
 (2007).  His books of essays include Twentieth Century Pleasures: Prose on 
 Poetry, which received the National Book Critics Circle Award for Criticism 
 (1984), and Now and Then: The Poet's Choice Columns, 1997-2000. He lives in 
 California with his wife, poet Brenda Hillman, and teaches at U.C. 
 Berkeley.\n\nHosted by Joyce Jenkins & Richard Silberg. Joyce Jenkins is 
 the publisher and an editor of Poetry Flash, where Richard Silberg is also 
 an editor. Both are poets. \n\n$12 advance tickets: (800) 838-3006 \nor
