        Sunday, March 28, 2:00 p.m. Time and Materials by Robert Hass The poems in this collection are grounded in the beauty and energy of the physical world, and in the bafflement of the present moment in American culture. This work is breathtakingly immediate, stylistically varied, redemptive, and wise. His familiar landscapes are here in addition to some of his oft-explored themes: art; the natural world; the nature of desire; the violence of history; the power and limits of language; and, domestic life and the conversation between men and women. New themes emerge as well, perhaps: the essence of memory and of time.
