Robert Hass, born on March 1, 1941, in San Francisco, came of age as a writer during that tension and worked across it as a poet, translator, literary critic, editor, and teacher.\n\nHass's education took him through an unusually wide range of institutions — Marin Catholic High School, Saint Mary's College of California, the University of Iowa, the University at Buffalo, Stanford University, and the University of California, Berkeley — and he went on to work as a university teacher as well as a docent and writer. That breadth shows in the range of roles he has held: translating work into English, editing, and producing literary criticism alongside his own poetry. He writes in English, and his output has moved between the lyric and the critical without treating those as separate vocations.\n\nThe honors Hass has received reflect sustained recognition across several decades. He was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship, the Wallace Stevens Award, the National Book Award for Poetry, and the Pulitzer Prize for Poetry. The Pulitzer, shared in 2008, was awarded for his collection Time and Materials: Poems 1997–2005, which gathered work written over nearly a decade and brought him two of American poetry's most prominent prizes simultaneously.\n\nTime and Materials: Poems 1997–2005 remains the most specifically documented marker of Hass's public recognition — a collection that earned both the National Book Award for Poetry and the 2008 Pulitzer Prize for Poetry, a combination that placed it among the more formally acknowledged bodies of American verse from that period.","American poetry in the late twentieth century found itself pulled between confessional intimacy and a cooler, more ecological attention to the physical world.
